Google Files for ‘Speedbook’ Trademark, Name for Chrome OS Tablet or Something Else?
It’s no mystery that Google is hard at work bringing their Chrome OS tablet to market — all indications are that big G is pushing for a Black Friday release later this year — and a recent trademark filing may shed a bit of light on what they plan to call it (or at least are considering to call it). If you can put much stock in things like trademark filings, we may be hearing a lot about a Google ‘Speedbook’ come the holiday season. Now the ‘book’ part of that almost suggests that this name would be reserved for something more akin to a Chrome OS netbook, but it wouldn’t be totally off for a tablet.
Of course, the filing could be for something entirely different, or it may even be for something Android-related such as the Motorola tablet Google has been collaborating on (though this seems unlikely, especially since a Verizon release almost guarantees a DROID branding). We could speculate all day, but really we are more concerned with how Chrome OS tablet plans affect Google’s commitment to Android as a tablet OS in the long run.
