Google shows off Chrome OS tablet ideas

A mock-up of a Chrome OS tablet from Google's Chromium developer site.

On Monday, Glen Murphy, a user interface designer for Google’s Chrome browser and the Chrome operating system based on it, pointed to image and video concepts of a Chrome OS-based tablet that went live two days before the iPad launch. Apparently nobody noticed initially, because only now did Murphy tweet, “Apparently our tablet mocks have been unearthed.”

The site also shows the array of devices Google envisions for Chrome OS.

The tablet mock-ups show a variety of Chrome OS tablet ideas, including a virtual keyboard taking up the bottom half of the screen or detached and floating as a separate window. Also included are a slideshow mode, an application launcher, sidebar-mounted browser tabs, and a pop-up contextual menu.

The video mock-up shows a much larger tablet, with hands resizing and moving windows through the multitouch interface, scrolling through text, and typing a search query.

Google of 1960

Funny seeing Google… before I was born.

Google in 1960

1. I’d advertise in the back of Popular Science magazine.
2. Users would send in a self addressed, stamped envelope.
3. I’d send back a postcard, like the one above, on which they’d enter their search query, check the appropriate boxes and then mail back to me.

Boy, times have changed. I doubt that anyone under 30 even knows what a SASE is anymore.
