A statistic to analyse the number of intentional to unintentional leaks in 2009 would be very welcome and interesting as this passing year seems to be the year of the “leak”. The latest leak has been reported by the International Business Times website and it is about Google’s first netbook that will run the Google Chrome OS (operating system).
According to the information posted on the website the netbook will have a 10.1 inch 1,280 x 720 multi-touch display, 2 Gigabytes of computer memory, a 64 Gigabyte solid state drive and extensive connectivity features such as Wi-Fi, 3G, Bluetooth and Ethernet ports.
The emphasize on connectivity options makes sense considering that the operating system requires an active Internet connection for most of its features and options.
The netbook will be equipped with an ARM cpu and makes use of Nvidia’s Tegra chipset that combines audio and video capabilities that promise better performance than comparable solutions.
The Google Chrome OS netbook is said to launch for next year’s holiday season and will most likely be made available for a sub-300 Dollar price tag. The netbook will be sold by Google directly and (likely) in some countries by tele-communication carriers like AT&T.
The impact of the launch is hard to estimate at this point. Will Google be able to get a sizable chunk of market share out of the netbook market or will the Chrome OS netbook remain a niche product that geeks will love but most users do not even know about?
