Google's own computer?

Google will be releasing a computer mid year 2011. It is called the cr-48 and I quote cnet news that the cr-48 will have great features like "Every Chrome notebook will work with Verizon 3G service. Each user gets 100MB of free data per month for two years. You can also buy different plans, the first starting at a day pass for $9.99. There are no overage charges or cancellation or setup fees.
There are options to have different user IDs on the same machine as well as a guest mode with completely private ("Incognito") browsing.
Your experience with setting up and using Chrome will be the same no matter what machine you're using. Everything is synced through the browser.
They worked hard on tying the browser directly to the hardware for security purposes. There is auto updating, sandboxing at the OS level, and all their data is encrypted by default.
There's also something called Verified Boot. Verified Boot makes sure that the OS is in the read-only firmware of the computer, so no software can modify it. When you boot Chrome OS, it checks to make sure nothing has been modified. Google is calling it 'the most secure consumer operating system that's ever been shipped.'" The cr-48 looks like it will be a top selling computers in years to come. Personally I believe that the cr-48 will sell slow at first because people won't want to give away their macs and pcs for a completely new computing system, but in the future I believe that Google cr-48 and google chrome will become increasingly more popular and will become the best browser-laptop combo in the computing world as well as each individually getting better in their own respective ways.
