Google To Offer Chrome OS Notebooks For $20/month
An anonymous reader writes "Hot on the heels of the $25 ARM computer, Google is to offer a $20 per month package for students, which includes a Chrome OS laptop (like the Cr-48) and an online component, which will likely include a storage bump for a user's Google Docs, Gmail, Picasa Web, and Google Music files. This would serve two purposes for Google: first, Google will be able to expand its existing user base for Chrome OS. For half the price of a typical cell phone contract, students will be able to pick up a netbook with 3G connectivity. Second, Google will be able to test the package offering publicly prior to eventually adding an enterprise version for Google Apps users."
You Canadians build your homes out of snow and drape yourselves in nothing but beaver pelts to stay warm. With no electricity, what in god's name do you need computer network services for, eh?
You and your wife are Apple users, and therefore your opinions don't matter.
What's Canada?
Is that near China?
Does it have money?
No. Canada does not need flying moose.
But Moose needs Flying Squirrel!
Why is it so hard to only have politicians for a few years, then have them go away?
And you were trying to be what? Pedantic?
Very often, people confuse simple with simplistic. The nuance is lost on most. - Clement Mok
