I realized I haven't posted anything in a while. The reason is simple...the Cr-48 has become such an integral part of my life, that I just don't think about it now. I am looking forward to what the commercial offerings are going to look like later this year. Could be quite interesting. I just hope they keep the price point low. I can't imagine too many people willing to pay more than $200 for a Chrome notebook.
I've also decided to get involved with the Chromium OS project. I bought a Dell Latitude d420 on eBay to do Chromium OS development on. The d420 was nice because I got it for less than $200, but it still has a 64-bit processor, sufficient RAM (compiling the OS is still a slow process), and ample hard disk space to accommodate Ubuntu 10.04LTS and the Chromium OS virtual machine. Should be a fun project to work on.
