Google launch its Chrome OS tablet on Black Friday, Novemver 26, on Verizon
The rumor is unconfirmed but a source told Download Squad that the Chrome OS tablet will be manufactured by HTC, launched on Verizon, and go on sale on November 26th.
Gizmodo says this rumor adds up what they’d previously heard and know: “It’s been rumored that Google and HTC are partnering on tablet hardware since January, and clearly Google and Verizon have gotten awfully cozy of late. And launching a major new product on Black Friday—the busiest shopping day of the year—would generate a lot of attention and, more importantly, hands-on time if they end up selling them in brick and mortars,” says Brian Barrett, Gizmodo.
Download Squad says that the device could be based on NVidia’s Tegra 2 platform and sport a 1280×720 multitouch display, 2GB of RAM, minimum 32GB SSD, WiFi/Bluetooth/LTE connectivity, GPS, webcam, and possibly expandable storage via a multi-card reader.
