LG last week filed for trademarks on three names that contain the word “Chrome,” sparking widespread speculation that the company is planning to launch an array of devices that run Google’s Linux-based Chrome OS. “ChromeOne,” “ChromeDesk” and “ChromeStation” were the names LG snapped up, and for all three LG listed the device class as “laptop computers; computers, convertible computers; tablet computers.” First spotted in Australia, the trademarks were filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office last week as well.
Many people laughed when the Chromebook was first released. Well, they're still around, and Google keeps improving them while adding more hardware partners.
Chromebooks are not meant to replace laptops. And they may not be for every type of user. They are meant for users that spend most of their time in a browser and want a device that starts up fast and is easy to use. That's a nice sized market.
If you're considering Chromebooks but also need access to Windows applications you can look at solutions like, Ericom AccessNow an HTML5 RDP client that enables Chromebook users to securely connect to any RDP host, including Terminal Server and VDI virtual desktops, and run their applications and desktops in a browser.
AccessNow does not require any client to be installed on the Chromebook, as you only need the HTML5-compatible browser.
