Google Chrome
I'll do a show on this tomorrow but I wanted to give put the link up today. So what is Google Chrome? It has nothing to do with chroming, the Aussie slang for sniffing petrochemical based substances.Google Chrome is a new browser. You may think it a little odd that Google should release it's own browser but when you think about it, it makes a lot of sense.
The main problem with accessing the net for most people is that they have to have a windows PC. That means usually forking out around $1000 for a hunk of tin that will be obsolete in 18 months.
Whilst the user base of general computing continues to grow, so does the user base who only need a browser on a mobile device.
They do not need a bloated operating system to simply access the net.
Heck, most people only use their PCs these days to access the net for
email and web, maybe a little bit of word processing. So the future for most users is device dominant - i.e. iphone, android, STBs etc. The OS is not a part of this picture.
What I am now waiting for is to find out what deals Google is doing with device manufacturers. Initially Google Chrome will only be available for Windows users but they are working on a Mac and Linux version as well. More in the show tomorrow.
