Chromebooks are not a gimmick they are great laptop replacements for older folks who spend majority of their time on the web. As Apple keeps improving its own chips I have no doubt an iPhone can run a fast stable "chromeOS like" environment. Now how Apple would feel about canabalizing their iPad lineup by doing that is a different story but a chromebook/phone combo would do great in the markup imo, especially with how many older people there are that already know apples OS interface |

A friend of mine is a master real estate broker. He's a good example of someone can move almost entirely to a chromebook or an ipad because nearly everything is now web based. So it's not just old folks or people just surfing but regular people doing their jobs. In particular this guy is someone who has half his browser eaten up by toolbars and buys a new computer every few years "because the old one is too slow." A chromebook or ipad is a great place to park those people since they're curated environments and not the free-for-all virus delivery and identity theft machines PCs are for the unwary.
