Codenames of Up Coming Google’s ‘Netbook’ Leaked!

Chrome OS is definitely a little more confusing since Google already has its own Chrome. A Web browser along with an operating system, called Android. However, Google claims that all ambiguity will be over until the end of this year, when the company has planned to launch their first lightweight ‘netbook,’ computer that runs Chrome publically. Though Google has yet turned down any query to details about this up-coming the device, yet it is much expected for it to be manufactured by some other company and worthily be branded by Google itself, just like the way it’s done with Nexus phone, which runs on Android.

Google is not facing its rivals Microsoft and Apple with Chrome OS, which are renowned for their operating systems and other day-to-day software’s like Microsoft Office, Apple iPhoto or iTunes, Such software’s are no use for these Chrome computers. Instead considering it to be a total online-operating-system, Chrome users would use other online-tools of Google like Docs instead of Microsoft Office, Picasa instead of iPhoto, Docs for word processing, Gmail for e-mail and much more. Google has full intentions to open a Chrome app store for software developers to dream up other Chrome tools.

However, the advantage of having netbooks is that the Chrome OS will load seconds, rather than the minutes wasted by any other notebook, and then users will see a browser through which applications and data can be used. When Google first talked about Chrome last year, netbooks — small, low-cost laptops with keyboards — were all the rage. But since then, smartphones and tablets — slate PCs with touch screens, like the iPad — have crushed that market.

Likely codenames have been leaked for these first ever Chrome OS operated netbooks. These are definitely related Mario and Andretti the motor racing-themed monikers to emerge.  Mario Andretti is one of the most successful drivers, and has won races in Formula One, IndyCar and Nascar. This indicates speed in the this particular devices, which are told to be netbooks rather than notebooks, which are intended for a launch early next year, with CES 2011 a likely venue.
