If one company – aside from Apple – can really revolutionize the tablet space, it's probably Google. The company waited patiently for the dust to begin settling on the whole iPad thing before kind of, sort of, throwing its hat in the ring. The Chromium Projects site – which is affiliated with Google, but not officially part of it – features a mockup ofwhat a tablet running the Chrome OS might look like.
The page is primarily comprised of shots highlighting the UI on a tablet interface. It includes such "possibilities" as, "keyboard interaction with the screen: anchored, split, attached to focus," "contextual actions triggered via dwell," and "zooming UI for multiple tabs."
The first Chrome OS-based netbooks are expected to arrive from third-party hardware manufacturers toward the end of the year. If Apple seems some success with the iPad, we can undoubtedly expect to see something along these lines in the mix.
