Tim Lince at ™Watch:
South Korean technology giant LG has lodged a host of Australian trade marks that suggest it is planning to launch a range of Google Chrome OS-based devices.
In the last week, the company has filed trade marks for ‘ChromeOne’, ‘ChromeDesk’ and ‘ChromeStation’, all covering various technology devices.
Firstly, a nice find by Tim; it looks like LG is gearing up to enter the emerging Chrome OS market, and soon.
I’m not sure what to make of the ‘ChromeOne’ name, but the ‘ChromeDesk’ & ‘ChromeStation’ monikers would certainly indicate a workstation PC rather than a laptop.
Perhaps this product (or products) will be the Google-approved successor to the Samsung Chromebox, or even an iMac-like all-in-one PC running Chrome OS?
Along with the much-leaked Nexus 5, hopefully we’ll see these names make an appearance at the Google Play event on October 24th.
