Hurray!!! The new Apple´s table is here and the tablets war has begun.
Hurray!!! Google is launching this year their new OS for netbooks: Chrome OS or Chromium. Fast as lighting. Boots in 10 seconds. Fear it MS.
However, behind these new box office hits , some bad news arise:
1. iPad is not multitasking, no USB ports, no camera, no Flash, and will not allow to install anything but Apple blessed products. Even the battery is sealed. The business are the services.
2. Chromium (Chrominux), will turn the netbooks in a web browser with steroids and will NOT work if you are offline; no wifi, no OS, no netbook. The business are the Google services.
This restrictive policies are not taking us to the next level. Is like when you educate your cat to do its needs in its sandbox. Outside of it, punishment will prevail.
Any new gadget must allow to install what ever you want or what ever you code. Closed systems are condemned to be instant legacy.
Besides, open source products are everywhere, so whats the point of having a text editor or other tools online??
Services are a great idea, but the cloud must evolve to turn this more democratic. I don´t have a datacenter yet.
Want to try Chromium???
VBox VM
USB install
