It is beginning to look like LG might reveal a set of its own Chrome OS devices in the near future. On Monday, TMWatch discovered three trademarks filed by LG earlier this month, each of which carries a Chrome-related moniker: “ChromeOne,” “ChromeDesk” and “ChromeStation.” Chrome OS LG devices were hinted at last year when LG signed a patent agreement with Microsoft, but this is the first official documentation of actual hardware being developed. There is no other indication as to what products these trademarks might actually turn into — each was filed in International Class 009, which can cover computers, tablets, mobile phones, DVD players, and even car speakers. Perhaps we will hear more when Google officially outs the Nexus 5 later this year.
