I'll only be interested in Chrome OS if it has non-web based applications available. If, as its currently being billed, it'll be web only, then that effectively makes it a door-stop if I'm in an area without coverage (which isn't that unusual for me).

It could be native apps, it could be Java apps, or it could be Dalvik (Android) apps (ideally, it should be all three). The latter seems like it'd be a no-brainer, since Dalvik is also owned by Google. And, at that point, there's little practical difference between "Android on a bigger screen, with a desktop quality browser" and "Chrome OS with Dalvik".

The difference being that "Chrome OS without local applications" is pretty pointless, and probably wont ever run on any device I own.

If it had a PixelQi display, can display nook e-books and other e-books, had a 9" or 10" version, DVI-I video out, options for 1GB and/or 2GB of RAM, and storage options for 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, and 32GB, then I'd be interested. (the PixelQi being the only one of those that's really optional - though I could downgrade the DVI-I output to VGA)

With all of that, I'd probably be willing to pay $500-$600ish for 16GB of storage and 2GB of RAM.

$250 - $300 for me if it had Chrome OS running on it, Android needs to stay on mobiles.

I have been waiting for something like this. I too wouldn't want to pay more than $25- $300. But this is a god send for moms, you can organize your life away! what a treat! is there anything else like this out there?

Wouldn't really wanna pay more than $300 for it, although I'm sure it will cost more than that.

Sweet... would pay same as a netbook (£200-400) contract free... probably expect it for free on £25 (18month/24month) contract.

Definitely cool and something that would be of interest!
