Google has been showing off mockups of tablets running the upcoming Chrome Operating System for ages, but the folks at CNET spotted a number of changes in the source code for the web browser-based operating system that show real work is being done to optimize Chrome OS to run on tablets. Google continues to insist that the first Chrome OS devices scheduled to hit the streets this summer will be notebooks, ut tablets might not be far behind.
After all, Chrome OS is basically a web browser which tuns web-based apps, and there's no reason you couldn't run that web browser just as easily from an Android environment(or windows, Linux, or OS X) as from Chrome OS. And like Chrome OS, Android loads quikly, supports instant on/off and always connected capasibilities, and stores much of your data online so it can be accessed from any device. The difference is that Android also supports native apps that tun when you're offline, making the OS much more versatile.
