Chrome OS coming in 1 more week? Will it even work?

by Stefan Etienne on 13. Nov, 2009 in Google, Rumors

Well, well, well. Over at TechCrunch another “reliable source” claims that the Chrome OS  (yeah, the Google Chrome OS) is coming to the face of the world next week. Next week is a little early isn’t it? It was supposed to come out in the 2nd quarter next year….

That’s right. No more personal data for you, it’s all gone. The T-Mobile Sidekick gave you a big kick in the side.
