Isn't this browser OS concept essentially what the Crunchpad aims to be?

Edit: Of course, the crunchpad is also the hardware component, making it more all-in-one.

The Crunchpad aims to be a browser. Specifically: a finger-friendly one.

GoogleOS would still be dealing with things like USB devices, a variety of internal hardware, offline processing, keyboard/mouse UI, desktop-class apps, etc.

You can see the comparison here between Arrington's vision and Google's post.

Now, Google Chrome OS running on the CrunchPad, wouldn't that be something...
