When Google officially announced the development of a Chrome-based operating system for netbooks, HP and Acer were the first companies to support this project. A year later, the two companies will also become the first manufacturers to launch devices or at least support the Google Chrome operating system with Dell.

There is no exact date of release of these products and their prices. But according to Lilputing, these devices will definitely appear before the end of 2010.
