Interesting, but definitely won't be replacing the traditional OS anytime soon.

Yeah, I was just reading that its only for "Google approved" hardware, and part of that approval is no hard drive.
So it's not for anyone who owns say, an iPod or a digital camera.
...Or for anyone that doesn't have guaranteed network connectivity, so I'm not sure its great for traveling either. Unless you love launching all your apps at 3g network speeds, I guess...
All in all, much ado about nothing, at least for the next couple of years, during which time, full function computers will continue to evolve with richer and richer functionality, once again making us wonder why we want a network appliance like this when we can have a "real PC"
