Look, ChromeOS running on the Transformer.

Look.

It is legit and will probably be finished in not too long. (I'm not the dev, hexxeh is.)

Going to be awesome, apparently everything is working atm, except some HW acceleration stuff, due to chromium having some weird bugs.
Currently booting from a USB Stick via the Dual Boot android method posted by lilsteve (I think this is how he did it not 100% sure) So dual boot with Android should be very, very possible.

Thanks TDC. This is great.

Read somewhere ChromeOS is highly reliant on the cloud, hence not much can be done without an active internet connection.

So how often would you open Chrome on your TF without an active internet connection?

This is awesome. Thank for the news, can't wait.

 

[Popsiclestand]

Oh yes!!!

How often do you use post without trying to seem like a smart ass?

How often do you use an OS that only works with an Internet connection?

how about a video of it running?

It will work with dual boot with android...

how about a video of it running?

Will get that when it's publicly available.

IMO I don't see the point of running ChromeOS on an Android device, ChromeOS is essentially just a web browser that runs web apps where as you can do all sorts of things with your Android device.

It's cause it's awesome and chrome os would probably be more web-compliant and you would probably have more luck runing websites that wouldn't normally work on android like, say, a java site, or even hulu

But lets face it, browsing in android is far from perfect, and Linux isnt completely working yet , so this is a great option. If you dont care about it, then simply ignore this post.

This.

The key to this being widely accepted is how well it performs, such as boot time and loading speed of HTML5 and Flash web pages. Chromebooks are designed to be instant-on devices, and if it still takes a good 45 seconds to boot up on a Transformer, then there's no point to running it over Android.

Seems more like a Trojan Horse from Google, for when they start issuing subscription fees to use their cloud base services.

Then you'll have to pay them because you've outsourced your PC for a LCD.

Soon enough, you will actually own NOTHING other than the LCD, with everything else being the property of the Cloud provider.

Do you want to become an constant source of income for Google or any company for that matter?

That's just a stupid reason to not use cloud service. Whoever doesn't backup locally is an idiot. People worried about losing files on Google Music/Doc when they start charging doesn't make any sense. Are you going to stop using gmail as well and host your own email server? There are always alternatives on internet.

People have been talking about charging fees for gmail, youtube, facebook...but it never happened.
Guess what, technology evolves. The cost of storage and server will drop lower and lower.
