Napkin? Check. Sandwich? Check. Steaming mug of tech news to wash it down with? Double-check! It’s the Lunchtime Lowdown… now, read on, and make sure you clean your plate.
Google. Google. Google. That’s all you’ll hear today. Well, that and maybe Chrome OS, Chrome OS, Chrome OS. See, Google’s just announced it’s launching its own operating system. It’ll go head to head with Windows, and you’ll be able to buy it on a brand new netbook next year.
It’s a hammer-blow to the Big M, with Google setting out its mission to make the Chrome OS fast, free and very easy to use. In short, Google just parked its tanks right on Windows 7’s lawn.
If you’re already sick of OS battles (seriously, suck it up – we’ve got at least five months of it to go yet), how about a peep at a new netbook? We’ve got hold of the all-new Asus 1005HA Seashell. It’s super slim, and more than a bit swish. Check out our unboxing pics to see what we mean.
Laptops not your bag? What about consoles? Sony’s CEO has some bad news for gamers today: the PS3 won’t be getting a price cut. Apparently, it just doesn’t make business sense to lop a few quid off the asking price.
But, while Sony taketh away with one hand, it also giveth. It’s just unveiled the CX520VE Handycam. It’s ultra-clever, and packs in more more smarts than a Mensa daytrip.
