Google Reveals Chrome Hardware Partners

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the because-they-can dept.

nk497 writes "Google has announced the hardware partners for the Chrome OS — so we can expect to see netbooks running the operating system next year from the likes of Asus, Acer, and HP, as well as Toshiba. Dell didn't seem to make the list, at least yet. Google also said it had teamed up with Adobe, which could mean Google is looking to include the Acrobat.com web-based software suite in some way."

    So we can expect major bloatware installed on the systems? Makes me wonder what Dell isn't on that list yet. I'm also wondering if Google is teaming up with Symantec.

    Yesterday's blog post did mention ARM, yes.

    Google Chrome OS will run on both x86 as well as ARM chips

    The Nokia Tablets (here, a happy N800 owner) ship with Flash 9, which works quite fine. And it has Linux... And it has an ARM (armel) architecture.
