Google Chrome OS Games
We are seeing news that along with Google’s popular web apps like gmail, calender and reader, Google Chrome OS will have two games pre-installed ”Darkroom” & “Plants vs Zombies.
I am not much in to Games, online or offline - so I am waiting to see you guys come up with your comments about these two games .. what say ?
We know that Google is working hard to bring more games to their apps store to woo users. So the news of default games to be included in Chrome OS is not so surprising, but still, its interesting to see the names coming out now 
So guys, ready to buy a Chrome OS Device ?
Google Chrome OS Speed Book
Rumor : Google Chrome OS Netbooks are going to be called Speed Books ? Google has bought the trademark “SpeedBook” which was held by a Chinese company for a short period.
Do you think this is true ? Let’s Chat in Comments !
If yes, which one will be your choice ? Dell - Acer – HP – or any other brand ? I am thinking about Dell and Acer .. what about you ?
Acer Google Chrome OS Netbook
This is not so surprising because Acer announced long back that “We’ll have the first Chrome OS Netbook“. If we have to believe this news, the mass production of the device will start in the second half of September, which is only 3 weeks away !
http://macles.blogspot.com has unearthed specs of an upcoming acer netbook with Chrome OS from couple of bug reports.
Rumored Specs
- 1.66GHz Intel Atom N455 CPU
- 1GB of memory
- 8GB SanDisk pSSD (solid state disk)
- Ambient light sensor
- WiFi, Bluetooth wireless connectivity
There’s still no word on the pricing or release date, but the blogger suspects that we could see a release pretty soon, based on the progress of the reports.
A solid clue for the release date of the Acer ZGA. PVT (Production Verification Test) is the last stage in hardware development before MP (Mass Production) and usually takes a few weeks. I guess/estimate MP will start in the second half of September, with volume shipment to stores towards the end of the following month. I expect Google to also release the public beta of Chrome OS in that time frame. says the blog post.

Google Chrome OS Web Apps Store
1up.com reports that Google Chrome Web Store will be launched in October and online games will be one of its main attractions. “Set to launch this October, the store aims to make a proper marketplace for browser games — one that solves a lot of the issues of games on the web today, from discovery to monetization.”
Google’s game developer advocate, Mark DeLoura, thinks that it’s difficult to find great online games, so Google Chrome Web Store tries to solve this problem by allowing users to rate games and write reviews. Chrome users will be able to install games, which adds shortcuts to the “new tab” page and grants additional permissions to the games.
