Acer Chrome OS netbook coming soon?

It looks like Acer is putting the finishing touches on a new netbook featuring the Google Chrome OS. The details were found by Macles by digging through some bug reports filed by an unknown tester.

Here are the hardware specs the netbook will have:

  • 1.66GHz Intel Atom N455 CPU
  • 1GB of memory
  • 8GB SanDisk pSSD (solid state disk)
  • Ambient light sensor
  • WiFi, Bluetooth wireless connectivity

No word yet on pricing or release date, but Macles thinks it could be soon based on the debugging reports. Do you think the Chrome OS could do for netbooks what the Android OS did for smartphones?
