The whole Android vs Chrome OS thing smacks of a badly planned platform strategy.
Seems like both OSes are suitable for tablets, and both are being developed (by different departments, no doubt) for that purpose.
- orangecat 17y agoYeah, I don't get the point of Chrome. If all you need is a browser, then just run a browser under Android. That said, if Google can produce a tablet that is to the iPad what the Nexus One is to the iPhone, I'm in.
- natrius 17y agoAndroid is for touch screens. Chrome OS is for netbooks. A Chrome OS tablet would be a bad idea. An Android netbook would also be a bad idea. They're built around different input methods.
