Some thoughts: It's a little odd that it wouldn't allow you to install Chrome extensions from outside of the market The external harddrives probably DID work, and would show him images if he used something that required browsing for them As much as I hate to admit it, he's right about iTunes. Who with an iP{{o,a}d,oop} would be able to use this thing alone as primary pc? How do floating pop up type windows work? I.e. clicking the pop out button on google chat, or hulu For a web-centric machine, those 3g plans seem a little towards the expensive side, with pretty low data allowances. But on the other hand, I don't really know how many bytes "regular browsing" accumulates in a month. |

Extensions will work if they don't use some API thingee (that's the technical term) that Google doesn't find secure enough. Don't have my notes, but NP/API? Anyway, most of the stuff in the market they tell me should be fine -- but even there, not all of it will be, guaranteed, I was told. In short, Chrome in Chrome OS is not exactly the same as the Chrome browser.
On iTunes, we'll all be using music from the cloud. Seriously -- my second day interview with them will get into this. Maybe so. But if you're into Apple devices, you're still going to need iTunes.
On 3G, I have a 5GB plan that I've used for years. Never gone over my limit. But, I only use it for when I'm traveling, about 5 days or so per month. If this was your main plan, expensive. But Google positions it as something you can use if you're out and away from WiFi.
