My next computer would be a Google Chromebook

Google launched Chrome OS based Chromebooks earlier this week. They are arriving in the international markets next month. No confirmed plans for the Indian market.

I am eagerly waiting for Samsung/Acer to launch their Chrome OS netbooks here in India so that I can buy one.

My next computer would be a Google Chromebook

I plan to give it to dad who wants a simple device that can check email and show him latest stock market details.

Earlier I was considering getting an Android based Tablet PC but Chromebook makes a lot more sense and that is what he would be getting!

Apple iPad 2 launches. Google Android Tablets are still messed up.

Steve Jobs surprised a lot of us by appearing on the stage to launch the second generation Apple iPad.

It goes on sale from March 11. Unlocked. Supports both CDMA and GSM networks. How cool and simple is that?

Google on the other hand has a mess on their hand with Motorola Xoom. Verizon only. Needs one month package activation to get the Wi-Fi working on it. Prices are confusing.

If I want to buy an Android 3.0 Tablet today, I still have no solid option sitting here in India. The Android smartphones I have owned have both been Nexus branded. Sadly, the Xoom has turned into a mess and I would have to wait for another Google supported device.

All I want is a GSM 3G based Android 3.0 loaded Tablet PC that is supported by Google on the software side…
