What they have right now is very rough and basic - essentially just a Chrome browser for Linux - but I can see what they want to do and it's very promising.

Gizpad, here we come!
(does Gizpad sound like... adult diapers, maybe, or is it just me?)

I know, I'll set a calendar reminder for myself on my Apple Tablet, since it looks like that will be out before Chrome OS.

@grimdeath9740: Developer version does not constitute a general release.
Chromium also does not count.
Can Chrome (or variants of Chrome) be run on linux, yes. When I go to Google's website to download a general release, no dice. Ergo, as I said, it has not been RELEASED.
I can run (and do run) Outlook under Linux. Does that mean Microsoft released Outlook for linux? (Hint: No)

Raise your hand if you have mp3's on your computer. Or photos from your camera. Or video. Or private documents you don't want to toss into the internet, no matter how safe it is supposed to be.
Ok, everyone with your hands up, I will be surprised if this OS can handle your needs.
So, everyone else - raise your hand if you use dial-up, or if you use a laptop and aren't always near an internet connection.
You guys will probably want to stay away from this OS, too.
So, who's left? I guess it's those people who have only saved a handful of MS Office docs, none of them being particularly private, and don't use digital cameras or music players, and always have a high-speed internet connection.
Why do you people have always-on high speed internet if you don't use your computer for anything?

In any case, you probably have a good point. This thing will likely be unsuited for media playback. Even if there's storage for it (which, I think there will be), will there be a web-based media player? Incredibly doubtful. Though, web-based radio playback, Netflix/Hulu streaming may be possible. It's not a total loss, just for local files. However, as a "companion device", I don't think they're really marketing this to take the place of your desktop that plays your music/movies. They're marketing it to be one easy-access portal to everything web.
