Also, they will change their name to Carrot and their phone will be dubbed uPhones, with uPhone N1 and uPhone E1 being launched this summer.

Also, there is talk of a new uPad.

Their whole OS will be missing. Since Google can answer anything, the phone will boot up to Google's page, you can handle it from there.

It's the community's job to fill in the gaps.
If all that were true, I'd still be happier because at least they'd leave it to the community instead of TELLING us that and then hiding things in closed-source. :P Also... I would probably kinda LIKE a tablet that did nothing but boot into a browser that goes straight to Google's services. Not a bad idea--although I think that's what ChromeOS is all about, isn't it?

To ChromeOS's credit, I LOVE that Google has decided NOT to lock-up the Linux layer of the ChromeOS laptops and leaves it open for the geeky among us to splash ourselves around in the POSIX goodness! GOOD on Google for that!
