Google finally unveiled its Chrome OS last Thursday in one of the most widely covered announcements since Apple released something iPod-ish. Eager users are able to get their hands on the source but like a kid on Christmas, those toys need quite a bit of assembly before they’ll be any fun at all.
The disappointment levels must have been pretty high today when Google announced that the actual Chrome OS wouldn’t be debuting until “late 2010,” and only on specific hardware. Of course, that’s the official release. Judging by the level of interest, unofficial builds of Chrome OS should be popping up all over the place long before Christmas 2010.
