It looks like Google are looking to get in on the Tablet scene after the recent release of the Apple iPad. Google are now showing off some ideas with its browser-based Chrome Operating System.
On Monday, Glen Murphy, a user interface designer for Google’s Chrome browser and the Chrome operating system based on it, pointed to image and video concepts of a Chrome OS-based tablet that went live two days before the iPad launch. Apparently nobody noticed initially, because only now did Murphy tweet, “Apparently our tablet mocks have been unearthed.”
The site also shows an array of devices which Google hope to have their Chrome OS running on.
“While its primary focus is Netbooks, Chrome OS could eventually scale to a wide variety of devices. Each would have vastly different input methods, available screen space, and processing power,” according to the Chromium form factors site. Chromium is the name of the open-source developer project that underlies the branded Chrome product.
Google hope to have the Chrome OS running on multiple hardware devices and not only netbooks. Below is an image showing the different layouts and interfaces that Google would use for each platform.

I’d be interested to see if Google would make their own browser and try an intrude yet again on Apple’s territory like they have with the Nexus One
