It is because of our web-centricity that we are so ambivalent about ChromeOS. We're much more aware of how far HTML and Flash can go, in part because those limitations are our opportunities. Web-only may be enough for some consumers - but are those the same consumers that would buy such a device instead of an actual computer?
[Edit] Come to think of it - what's the advantage of ChromeOS over Android?

If it was a good bit cheaper than an actual computer, I'd say yes, exactly the same. It would also be a tempting target for makers of devices like the crunchpad, which basically attempted to implement their own version of such a thing. A very good point about android though. It seems like it wouldn't be that hard to make them interoperate. Its a strange move on Google's part to so adamantly separate them. (Instead of perhaps extending android to do the work of chrome).
