Steve Jobs apparently laid into Google recently for entering the phone market with the Nexus One and attempting to steal the iPhone's thunder. As we write, the Jobsinator is setting his spleen to its maximum vent setting, because Google may be planning to release a Chrome OS-based tablet PC to take on the newly birthed iPad.
Glen Murphy, one of Google's Chrome OS designers, has posted a concept video (below) of what a Chrome OS interface might look like on a tablet, while documents on the Chromium Projects Web site suggest such a tablet would be between 5 and 10 inches in size, support multi-touch (like the iPad), and use a tabs-based system, rather than windows. Rumours have also been circulating for a goodly while that Google has been in talks with HTC to build a tablet PC.
