Acer Confirms: Chrome Netbook Launching in Q310

Jan 26 2010, 11:14am CST | by Robert Evans

The Apple tablet may be the big news this week, but that doesn't mean there aren't other exciting, unreleased products out there to drool over. Digitimes reports that a senior VP at Acer has confirmed they will be launching a Chrome OS netbook in the second half of this year. He further stated that Acer's goal is to ship one million Chrome netbooks in 2010. Considering this netbook will only be out for a few months of 2010, Acer has high hopes.

Sadly, Acer wasn't forthcoming with information about the in-development netbook. He did reveal that Acer will be launching an application store for their netbooks and smartphones in 2010. They will also be launching e-readers for sale in Asia and Europe, starting in Q3.
