Isn't Android free? Isn't that how open source works. So why put Chrome OS on a tablet if you can put Android on it? Maybe if it was an X86 tablet and you wanted a quickboot OS but otherwise I dont see why the product maker would not go with android.

all my parents do with the ipad 2 is use the internet. i can see this being a viable option for their next tablet.

Im not accepting cloud until I get 100% assurance that there will be 0 peeking into my stuff and it costs miles below the other tabs. And it better have a darn good 3G offer, a wifi only would be stupid. Not sure what googles trying to do with this, honeycomb is supposed to be the convenient option.
