Smartbook and Chrome OS

Last week google have let us take a peek on their new and shiny Chrome OS. So what the big deal about it? Well, if we look at it, it is co-insight with the coming of smartbook.

Then what the 2 of then have any relationship. Well, the are make to each other. It might be not clear but surely the success of smartbook is depend of success of Chrome OS. Well after looking at what Chrome OS, it seem it is tailor for SmartBook. Why I said this? Look at Chrome OS, it basicaly is a strip down of Linux until it only have browser. So, it didn't even need the power of Atom for the devices that running. This is any Smartbook is good enough for Chrome OS.

Then the question is, will this be the killer application? This is hard to said, it is a good merry, but will not be the celebrity that most hopping for. Some people will start using it but in the short time, I doubt that it will be popular as it lag the power and freedom of software.

It sit between smart phone and PC, but it is hard to replace both. Therefore, it might have a small piece of the pie, especially from telco, but will be only for small part of the market. The mass still feel hard to accept this kind of devices, not even the mighty google can pull this of.
