Acer chairman, JT Wang, says he expects to be first to market with an official Chrome OS netbook (or to coin the phrase we here are hoping will become the norm, Chromebook!) in the second half of 2010 according to the DigiTimes.
Mr Wang says Acer has been working on a Chrome OS device since mid-2009 despite the poorer than expected demand for its dual-boot Android netbook, the Aspire One AOD250.
Even being Google isn’t enough to get the OS into a market dominating position on cheap ultra-portables. It’s worth pointing out that DigiTimes isn’t breaking anything new with the time-frame since the target for release Chrome OS build has been the second half of 2010 ever since the OS was announced.
As Endgadget points out… The timing doesn’t matter too much anyway, we bound to be seeing plenty of Chromium OS netbooks flooding the grey market long before the second half of 2010. Bring it on
