I really like the idea of the Chromebook, but I actually think something like a WebOS netbook would be better potentially. Saying that everything IS a webapp is a bit stupid at this point. Forcing everything through the web browser is just as draconian as the rules on iOS frankly. Of course Google wants everything to be on the web so that they can make more money with ads, and that is to be expected, but I kind of wish that there was a better app development story around HTML5 local storage. Like, it would be great if say a game like Angry Birds could be downloaded and played offline on a Chromebook. iOS, Android, and every other platform gets this. Chromebook is clearly not designed for the offline world...yet. Not everywhere has wifi/3g/4g connectivity 100% of the time.
