Yesterday, Google rolled out an
update for Chrome OS, its browser-based operating system. Bringing Chrome 10 to Chrome OS, plus a quite a few fixes and tweaks, the biggest change is an update to the trackpad for the Cr-48 Chrome OS notebook. The trackpad now gains sensitivity and control settings, which
according to Engadget, make a huge difference to its usability.
Other highlights include:
- 3G modem activation fixes
- 3G connection to the carrier fixes
- Wi-Fi connectivity/Out of the Box fixes
- New trackpad and sensitivity setting adjusted
- Auto update engine and debugging improvements
- Power optimizations
- GTalk video/chat optimizations
- Audio CPU utilization improvements
- Improved on screen indicators: brightness, network status, update icon
- Scratchpad application security vulnerability fix (included in Chrome 10)
Making the trackpad usable makes this update a big one for Cr-48 owners, but the general fixes and optimizations will likely help anyone who happens to be running Chrome OS on a custom netbook. Whether you think a browser-based operating system is the way forward or not, it's good to see Google continuing to improve and refine Chrome OS; after all, any competition and innovation in the OS market has to be good for consumers.
