Google Chrome

The Google Chrome notebooks are not available for the general public.  The pilot Chrome notebooks have been shipped to a select few for beta testing.  The Google Chrome Store is up and running.  Those who use the Google Chrome web browser on their Macs or PCs can run most of the Google Chrome applications or extensions on their existing computers.

So far my favorite Chrome application is CRACKLE.  CRACKLE is a free movie channel on the internet with lots of interesting movies to watch.  For those that are signed up on Netflix; there is a Netflix application and it works great.

The Google Chrome notebook will have no hard drive as it is pure cloud computing.  It is a notebook for those that live on the internet as it cannot operate without an connection to it.

For Christians there is few Chrome applications that I have found so far except: Hymnal.Net, Scriply, ESV Bible Online, Desiring God, Crossway, and Bible.is.  I am sure that more applications will be coming for Google Chrome.

For tweeting there is the following Chrome applications: Seesmic, Twitter, TweetDeck, and HootSuite.

Internet newspapers having a Chrome applicaiton include: New York Times, Los Angeles Times, USA Today, Huffington Post, and Salon.
