Google CR-48: Getting Started

There are plenty of reviews of the new Cr-48 Chrome notebook running Chrome OS. I’m not going to duplicate that. I’ve found that some of the major tips on how things work are a bit scattered, so I thought it would be good to compile them into one place. This guide is designed to get you productive on the Cr-48 quickly.

The Cr-48 running Chrome OS is so dull

After two weeks living in the cloud as part of the Google’s Pilot Program for its Chrome operating system and the Cr-48 laptop, I find the whole thing dull; that’s a good thing though.

Google CR-48 Chrome Notebook – Unboxing

Google CR-48 Chrome Notebook – Unboxing

Just a day after Google announced the release of the Chrome OS Beta and the CR-48 Chrome Notebook, it seems like a lucky individual has already received the device this morning! There was a lot of disappointment when many Google fans found out that the CR-48 was only available for those in the USA. Even for those based in the USA it may not be that easy to get one of these babies; Google is only having 60,000 of these devices manufactured. If you are interested in getting one (and if you are in the USA) you may apply here.

Cloud Canvas – Pushing The Boundaries Of HTML5

It’s been a couple of months since I wrote about the progress of the Google Web Store. Back then I showcased a number of Web Apps which were still in their early stages of development. Ever since then, a lot has changed; Web Apps have ‘evolved’ and are now ready for the imminent release of the Google Web Store and the much anticipated Chrome OS.

Chrome OS vs WebOS

Chrome OS vs WebOS

Earlier on last week we examined the startling similarities between Google’s Chrome OS and Jolicloud. Of-course Chrome OS hasn’t even been released yet, but I felt it more than fitting to compare the two operating systems by virtue of the purpose that they either serve or will attempt to serve in the future.
