Watch out Apple iPad, here's Google's one?



Watch out Apple iPad, here's Google's one?
Only last week Steve Jobs announced the iPad. He then fired his gun at Google saying that their "no evil" - policy was bullshit and that Google was aiming on competing with them on mobile. Do you think he then knew that Google was making the next competitor of the iPad?
A posting on Google's Chromium blog shows Google is making the iPad competitor. A video posted on YouTube (later on in this post) even shows how the Google tablet will work.
According to the post the tablet has these features:
  • Keyboard interaction with the screen: anchored, split, attached to focus.
  • Launchers as an overlay, providing touch or search as means to access web sites.
  • Contextual actions triggered via dwell.
  • Zooming UI for multiple tabs
  • Tabs presented along the side of the screen (see Side tabs)
  • Creating multiple browsers on screen using a launcher
Rumours are HTC is building the tablet with Google.
