Google's Chromium department has some very interesting design concepts for their upcoming Google Tablet. Its exciting and interesting to see such design images so early in development. I think thats a really cool move by Google. Microsoft & Apple are money driven, its painfully clear that is their main drive. Google is a business, obviously a huge one but they aren't driven only by money. My reason being them devoting tons of time and money into things that don't directly bring in cash flow. My short list would be their proposed HTTP protocol replacement SPDY, their public DNS server and Google Wave. I could list more but you get the idea. Their entire open source mantra is healthy for the soul and is awesome.
Apple on the other hand charged me $4.95 for a f***ing update on my iTouch. I'm still mad about that. Anyway my main point being the Google tablet looks awesome as an early draft and it'll be exciting to see where it goes.
The Google tablet much like their Android powered devices I feel will one day be stronger than Apple's iPad and iPhone counterpart. Main reason being their open source infrastructure. I believe open source will win in the long run by attracting more developers and users that simply want a better product without paying Ballmer or Jobs major cash.
Guess we'll have to wait and see.
