Some of the other possible features of Chrome OS tablet computer include WiFi, Bluetooth, LTE, GPS, and webcam. A mini-DVI or if possible an HDMI port would be a nice addition.


Well Analysts say that is would be better if Google chooses Andriod os rather than Chrome OS.As Chrome OS, a browser-based operating system that stores all of a computer user's applications and data online which is not appropriate for mobile internet and Chrome OS was developed for highly and persistently connected devices.

Coming to Andriod , it is perfect for wireless devices and in the market there are already tablets by Dell are using Andriod and when i am thinking of these tablets pc's, i got one thing in to mind is " where is ADAM" this indian based tablet which is gearing up to compete Ipad and i belive even they are using Andriod OS for Adam.

Still the confirmed news is not yet released by Google and i think as Chrome good at supporting Web apps , Google might have choosen Chrome but still lets see what's next ...
