hey guys so today I'm here with an overview of the recent Google Chrome event then talked about a lot of things let me go ahead and tell you a little bit about what all they unveiled so the met one of the bigger things was the chrome webstore now the chrome webstore will be live later today and I will have a video to look on the screen for an annotation as soon as I get that video a hands-on showing exactly what it is but the chrome webstore does look very cool you can go ahead and purchase apps as well as just go ahead and just download them for free there are a lot of really interesting ones so I'm definitely looking forward to seeing more on that however the major focus of the event was certainly Google Chrome OS I know we've been hearing about this for quite a while however this we've got a lot more details on it release dates all that kind of good stuff so it's not done yet so if you were looking for a chrome OS release date you know today or soon no it's actually going to be the first notebooks were going to be launching sometime in the middle of next year however we do know a lot more information and they actually are going to do a pilot program so basically what this pilot program is all about is that they have that's called the cr-48 the first very first Chrome OS laptop now basically they're going to be distributing this through the pilot program which I'll have a link to in the description if you're interested in trying to apply basically it's going to be like a public beta where some people will actually go ahead and get one of these chrome OS laptops and you test it and you know talk about it and all that kind of stuff which is definitely going to be very very cool and I won't really get into the laptop as it's not going to be the actual thing that you'll be able to buy of course this is just the early adopters I'm however let me go ahead and talk just a bit more about Chrome OS so everything we've heard about Chrome OS before all that remains you know it's going to be an instant-on not instant on but very very close it's going to go ahead and boot very very fast they talked a lot about the security features the sandbox and all that kind of stuff however there's some really cool things I want to go ahead and discuss one thing that we didn't know before was that every Chrome OS netbook is going to have built-in 3G there's going to be great and in addition if you're in the United States all of them will actually come with two years worth of free 3G from Verizon Wireless so basically what the way it will work is that it's kind of similar to on the iPads that my pain or you can go ahead and you get 100 megabytes of free data every single month for the next two years so if I bought one today I would have two years 100 Meg's every month in addition to that you with no contract you can go ahead and buy pay-as-you-go so you can get a day pass for unwith unlimited or you can go ahead and get perhaps a gigabyte or however you want to do it it's all activated on the Chrome OS notebook itself so very very cool stuff right there anyway guys that's it for my overview of all what they talked about now of course there's a lot more but most of the stuff is kind of just repeating we've already seen a lot of it you know a couple of the key things I really liked was the fact that how fast and simple it is to set up and use I'm so actually they actually showed and I took a brand new chrome OS notebook they turned I turned it on for the first time and literally all you need to do is accept the terms these go ahead and take you know set up a profile picture plug in your Google account details and it was already set up so it was really really fantastic you know anyone can attest to if you buy you know a brand new Windows or Mac here you turn on you set it up all this kind of stuff but with the Google Chrome OS it took less than a minute to have it fully set up with all your bookmarks and all that kind of stuff which are of course imported from your Google account so there's really cool things I'm excited to go ahead and get my hands on a chrome OS notebook and give you guys more information anyway guys thanks for watching
