We’ve only just stopped deliberating on whether there will be a Google phone or not, and now an old rumour about a Google Netbook is starting to surface again. Google are keeping us all in suspense these days.
So is there a Google Netbook with Chrome operating system in the offing?
At the moment we have no idea because as we said, it’s all rumour and speculation and Google haven’t actually said anything and until they do we will continue to speculate.
However, if what we are hearing is true, and Google are going to be producing Google branded phones and Netbooks then many people are bound to be wondering what Google are playing at.
We tend to think of Google as an Internet company, mostly because of their dominance in the search engine market and in internet advertising but if they’re going to be producing phones and netbooks too then what’s that all about?
Well it may be a tad surprising for some to learn that Google has been expanding into different areas all along and already produce a massive range of products so instead of asking why they would produce a phone and a netbook perhaps we should be thinking why not?
According to a recent story in TechCrunch, Google has already been in talks with a hardware manufacturer to produce the Google Netbook and have given the company a request for proposal which included a list of technical details for the portable device although the actual technical specifications are still unknown.
There is speculation though that the Netbook will run on an ARM processor and it will incorporate the new Nvidia Tegra graphics chip and of course that it will feature Chrome operating system.
Ok so that’s about it really, not much to go on, but if the rumours turn out to be true which could well be the case, the next question is how would Google make the Netbook available to customers?
Well the talk around Nexus One phone is that the phone will be made available unlocked and directly to the consumer. Could this be what they might do with a Google Netbook too, sell it directly to the consumer?
Others believe that a Google Netbook would most likely be available through one or more carriers who will subsidise the netbook. So what’s it to be?
Well unless Google releases an official statement, we can just keep Googling about it.
