Haha - nooo. We're not allowed to give it away, or sell it, or do anything to it. Just use it as-is.

I figure this will not be a good device for a lot of people. But it seems to be along the lines of an iPad - specialized (sort of) device for people who want it on the go.

look out! Ninjas!:
This is a question: How well do you think the OC could work on modern tablets?

nekowafer:
I've never used a tablet so I can't compare them. But I think it has a lot of potential. You can do a lot of things just in Chrome OS; listen to Pandora, use Google Docs, play some games, and watch YouTube. You can even sync your Chrome OS browser with your Chrome browser on your home computer - so all my bookmarks have been transferred over, and I could also transfer apps and extensions if I wanted to. I think with a bit more work it could work very well.

LTK:
I don't see this doing well for a working computer, since I like to be able to do stuff even when I'm not connected, i.e. going through my inbox, writing essays, and reading articles, so I keep my documents and e-mail saved locally and don't need to go to gmail or google docs for it. Mobile functionality, however, seems ideal for this sort of thing. Mobile devices like smartphones and tablets have connectivity as their #1 goal, so using Chrome OS on a netbook on your way to work/home to read news and connect with people is just what I'd use it for.

proxious:
thanks for the heads up folks
