Title: Acer to "launch Chrome netbook next month"
Post by: Simon on May 16, 2010, 20:43:00
Acer is preparing to launch devices based on Google's Chrome OS at next month's Computex trade show, according to reports.

The VentureBeat website claims it's been told by "multiple sources" that Acer plans to unveil the Chrome devices at the Taipei show, which runs from 1 to 5 June.  It doesn't specify what the devices are, although given that Chrome OS is primarily designed for low-powered laptops and Acer's status as the world's second biggest PC maker, it seems inconceivable that the devices won't be netbooks.
