Photos: The Google tablet to rival the iPad?
By Nicole Kobie,
If you thought the hype surrounding the release of the Apple iPad was a bit much, photos floating around the web are already suggesting what a possible Google tablet could look like - well before one has even been announced by any manufacturer.
Posted on the Chromium Project development site - which supports the open source development of Google's Chrome browser and OS - the mocked up photos show how a tablet running the web-app friendly Chrome operating system could work. There are also pages showing netbooks, desktops and more. 
Google opened Chrome up to developers at the end of last year, with specifically designed devices expected to arrive at the end of next year.
At the time, Google said the devices would likely be along the lines of a thin clamshell design, between a netbook and a laptop.
