Days after Steve Jobs’ alleged rant, Google may have taken one more step to annoy the Apple CEO. Not only have Google released its own smartphone to compete with Apple’s iPhone, but now they seem to be testing a new product in the form of a tablet PC to coincide with the launch of the Apple iPad.
Concept photos of Google’s tablet PC have been seen on the Chromium Projects website recently. The photos were showing how Chrome OS UI would look on a tablet PC. This has caused speculation that a Chrome based tablet PC may be the next launch on Google’s agenda.
Though Chromium Projects is not run by Google and the photos were only shown as a concept of Chrome OS UI in development stages and are still subject to change, it is still quite interesting to see.
The reason why for the rumours of this Chrome based tablet PC is that there are concepts under development pointing to a possible manufacture including:
• screen with keyboard interaction with anchored split
• launchers as overlay, providing touch to access websites
• contextual actions triggered via dwell
• UI zoom for multiple tabs
• tabs along the side of the screen
• multiple browsers created on screen via launcher
I’m sure this is not the last we are going to hear of Google and Apple competing on the biggest stage. If Google are to compete with the Apple iPad, then they better move fast, as Apple have already been gaining good support of some e-book retailers, since the negative feedback at the iPad launch.
