Im using Chromium OS and Android
Okay, maybe that was a little early! Its been the news of the year, the announcement of a new lightweight operating system that would boot up within seconds! Very recently google declared the open source-ness of its browser based OS! and with the help of a few, I’ve got my hands all over it. You want try it too? Then say thanks to hexxeh and read on
- First decide where you want to install your Chromium. As little as 1GB USB Drive is enough thanks to Hexxeh and his Chromium “Diet” build.
- Download the build from the links on his website.
- After downloading, you have to setup the USB drive, make sure you backup all data and its empty.
- Mac Users: After inserting the USB, you have to “Unmount” it. Which, as i recently found out, is different from simply ejecting it. Head to DiskUtils and unmount your USB Drive.
- Without taking away the glory, follow the instructions on chromeos.hexxeh.net for your respective operating systems.
Lets talk about Chromium itself shall we? Passing out any judgment at this stage would be very very stupid, indeed! Its atleast a year away from final build and as such, we can only comment on it conceptually and imagine where its headed.
Loading upto the login screen, even from a USB drive was within 6 seconds. Then you are taken to a very familiar Chrome browser interface. The first “tab” is what will be your place to execute or rather run web applications. The web apps, at this stage understandably are only links their pages.
A feature mac and linux users are very familiar with are expand, collapse, select tabs shortcuts.
What remains to be seen is how much of “native offline” apps can be accommodated for getting a normal user on board. Lets face it, netbooks are NOT the future. A simple user, college kid or a guy with one laptop would want to do more than just be online (which itself is a lot). But then, we are not sure if they are the target audience.
Chromium OS is big news not because of its fantastic live changing totally mesmerizing OS, which its not by the way, its because its backed by a software giant Google.
Android and Chrome OS. The very thought of them brings some confusions of crossed paths. “Android and Chrome will likely converge over time” as said by Sergey Brin, till then Android will continue to be an Only mobile experience. Some bloggers report this as a confusing move on Google’s part. Not to me though, Chrome OS has a very defined preset goal. That is to be lightweight, quick loading time and to achieve google’s ultimate goal which is to totally eliminate installing software on HD and readily use stuff online. Had it been any other company, there would be questions and doubts, but its Google. Having used Chrome OS, It’ll be very exciting to see how it develops over the year. Would there be any room for casual users who like to play DVD maybe?
Android sure on its way, not there yet, but still on its way to become a force to reckon with. GigaOm reports that Motorola Droid has already sold 700,000 Units and already projecting a million Units before the end 2009.
The thing is… Chrome or Android, be good or bad, We Desperately Need it to challenge iPhone
I’ll tell you what we don’t need though.. more Ads from Adwords.

Android will rule soon! They need to polish the interface and few other bugs. I am using Samsung Galaxy S right now and it is a great phone but still has some annoying lags from time to time and the UI needs some extra work for sure…waiting for my Android 2.2 anyway to see if it will improve a lot and of course waiting for gingerbread!
A well thought out article. I liked it very much and will be back to visit this site in the not to distant future.
I used android phone. It a Best operation system for me, now I waiting for android 3.

Interesting. I’m using iPhone 4 but Android is advancing really quickly.. Dunno if I should by Android phone next.
I don’t think Android will surpass OS X anytime soon, so I wouldn’t hold my breath.

Hi would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re using? I’m going to start my own blog soon but I’m having a hard time deciding between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something unique. P.S Sorry for getting off-topic but I had to ask!
I’d been honored to receive a call from my friend as soon as he discovered the important guidelines shared on the site. Studying your blog post is a real fantastic experience. Thanks again for taking into account readers much like me, and I would like for you the best of success as being a professional topic.

Hello Great Site I Found You at, Bing I hope I will Visit Later on BTW to Stop Around my website
I’m from my mind, but really feel free to leave your message.
As you said, Android is definitely getting much more attention than Chrome OS is at the moment. Honeycomb looks amazing, and I really do think we will start to see it used on more than just tablets in the future.
Great page, I will most certainly be adding this site as a new favoritey helpful information.Keep the information coming,Sue Smith best gps
Wow that was unusual. I just wrote an incredibly long comment but after I clicked submit my comment didn’t appear. Grrrr… well I’m not writing all that over again. Anyhow, just wanted to say great blog!
Good day! I know this is kinda off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this website? I’m getting fed up of WordPress because I’ve had problems with hackers and I’m looking at alternatives for another platform. I would be fantastic if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.
Hello! Quick question that’s entirely off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My weblog looks weird when browsing from my iphone. I’m trying to find a template or plugin that might be able to correct this issue. If you have any suggestions, please share. With thanks!
until now i am still fascinated with these new technology appearing in the market. these android and OS. would they replace PC or laptop in the long run? still wondering thought.
Hi
I stumbled onto your site and want to say thanks for the post
I had no idea there were open source operating systems , Fantastic !
thanks for the info and keep it up
all the best paul
Thanks for the info, I use a iphone but would like to switch to an android phone when the contract is up, it seems much superior.
I dont think we need to challenge iOS or the iPhone. What we need to challenge is Google! People are trolling about Apple, Mozilla and what do I know for things, that Google does since a long time. Just my 2 cents
