Acer to launch two Chrome OS devices in June?

Rumor

Back in January, Acer’s president of IT Products division Jim Wong revealed that Acer was shooting to become the first manufacturer to produce a Chrome OS powered device. According to the latest rumor from Venture Beat, Acer will be delivering on that promise at the upcoming Computex Taipei trade show by debuting these aforementioned Chrome OS devices. Details are sparse on the nature of these devices, but the initial disclosure from Wong suggests that one may be a netbook and the other may be a tablet. If this early June unveiling comes to fruition, let’s hope that during the intervening months of product development Acer has taken its design cues from Apple and not Foleo BlackBerry.Read

    That sounds like a netbook I would like to buy. No more windows for me

    Good news. Things are getting interesting.

    My guess is a Tablet and a Netbook make up the two Chrome OS devices.

    Exists? Are you kidding me?! I would buy a netbook with Google chrome OS. The only reason I would want a netbook is for everything chrome offers. Who doesn’t need an iPod, ipad, netbook, android phone, and laptop and desktop. Seriously. How could anyone live without the above? I’m serious. Really. I am.

    Not an OS! This is a cloud computer with all data residing on Google’s servers not on your laptop. You cannot install applications, you cannot control your laptop, it’s just your basic locked netbook.
