Google CEO Eric Schmidt confirmed that because of delay due to technical problems with the operating system Chrome OS before the end of this year will be on sale any netbook or tablet based on this work.Previously, it was announced that the placing of devices with this operating system will be delayed by several months.

The company will keep putting a cloud operating system until at least early 2011. Schmidt said that Chrome OS is now “a few months of its launch.More accurate release date yet, has it gone, but until recently the company intended to launch Chrome OS this month. So the first laptops and tablets based on the Chrome OS can occur around the spring of 2011.

You will remember that Google originally published the source code of Chrome OS prior year, announced that the companies Acer, Asus, Hewlett-Packard, Lenovo and Toshiba are interested in this development and said they plan to market notebooks Based on this system in November or December 2010.In September, Google announced that work on the system is on schedule, but now the company acknowledged that the system still lags behind it.

Internet giant did not announce the exact reasons for the delay, but it is believed that the delay is probably caused by the desire to strengthen the orientation of the Chrome OS tablets in order to better compete with Apple iPad and Samsung Galaxy Tab.
