Google will hold a press event on December 7th to make an announcement about Chrome. No details were given but speculation suggests that Google will unveil a netbook powered by its Chrome operating system. But Google could limit availability of the netbook to its employees as the OS is believed to still be in beta.
Google first announced the Chrome OS in July 2009 with an expectation to have devices out by mid-2010. Delays have pushed this out and Chrome OS netbooks are now not expected to hit the street until early 2011. Manufacturers that could offer devices including Acer, Asus, and HP.
To go along with the Chrome OS, Google could also announce the Chrome Web Store. It has just released Chrome 8 (the browser) which offers support for this new app store.
