I have to say I was a bit skeptical about the idea Chrome OS and their app store. But installing some of their apps I have found that they easily replaced 2 of my desktop apps; I think now I understand that they might be in to something interesting here. I want to point out that when I say chrome "apps" I am not referring to fully functional websites just customized (window-dressing) as an app to work on Chrome; I am referring to native chrome apps. I know its perhaps too early to make a judgement on the quality of such apps, but after 5 minutes of browsing their app store I found 2 apps that will completely replace 2 desktop applications I frequently use. They are Write Space[1] and Tweetdeck. I am on a mac so write Space replaces WriteRoom[2] and tweetdeck replace tweetdeck desktop app. Thats two apps I don't have to frequently switch back and forth to but just go to my "pinned tab" and start using them. I am not a fan of apps they requires me be online in order for me to use them. I think the success of Chrome OS will be hugely depended on the availability of high quality native apps.
