twitter.com – This video was filmed by Charbax at armdevices.net at the Mobile World Congress recently. Freescale was showing their reference design for sub-0 tablets at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. The target is that tablets to be sold below 0 to end consumers will be able to run any Linux-based OS, including Chromium OS – based on the open-source code available at http In this video, Freescale’s product manager of Software Development demonstrates the status of their optimizations of running Chromium OS on their i.MX51 based devices, among other form factors is the recently announced 9 tablet form factor. It even supports hardware acceleration of HTML5 based video playback.

It looks pretty good, I suspect some of the “glitchy” video is the cheap video camera used to try and film the screen.
Not an uncommon problem.
All browsers on the iPhone are based on the Safari. Stoopid Apple.
I hear you on that brother! I own the CS4 suite.. can’t stand that I MUST use gmail on my android.. and pissed i can’t get my ipad RIGHT NOW! Seriously though, my iphone has 1 scratch on the screen.. from a damn PENCIL I kept in my pocket to write crap like tracking numbers down before we had copy and paste.. NO COPY AND PASTE!?! That’s a LOT more ballsy than no flash LOL.
I have a half dozen alternate browsers on iphone.. most suck, but they are allowed in the app store.
I’m guessing that Adobe can’t do a Flash browser for iPhone because it would mimic the functionality of Safari and would therefore not be allowed. That’s the curse of the iPhone: Apple forbids competition against their core apps – which run fairly well – but it stifles innovation. For instance, it’s idiotic that Google can’t publish a Gmail app and instead I have to access it through Safari.
Frankly, I’m pissed at Adobe and Apple and Google (but I continue to use them).
Are you talking about on android? I CAN’T I have an HTC hero.. and there are a lot of mofo’s out there just like me who are a little pissed off about flash, sprint, and google dangling bait, getting us on the hook.. it’s been months, no 2.0 update.. and, as we now know, the hero is too weak to support flash.
I’ll say what I said in 2007.. why can’t adobe dev a flash BROWSER FOR IPHONE? (a self contained app) of course we’re all still waiting for adobe’s iphone dev tools promised in october.
Neat concept devices! They are a little glitchy. But then again they are just concept devices. YAY AVATAR!!!
@rockbandmidi You should participate in the Flash beta if you want to bitch at Adobe. The 10.1 beta is actually a huge improvement over 10 and the developers were quick to respond when I encountered problems.
@bretw and 4x the thickness/weight..
@Octavio681 I must have missed the flash demo..
@martyyu It’s not how I watch TV on either my mobile device or my computer.. Your TV tuner uses flash for some reason? My android, just like everybody elses, doesn’t have flash either.. so I can only watch h.264 streams just like on the iphone..
I have flash on my ps3.. but all it does is lock up youtube constantly.. hulu hasn’t worked in almost a YEAR.. catch up to reality man.. If you don’t bitch, adobe will never get off their ASSES and fix things.
@johnesponet all charbax’s vids are like this.. maybe he’s more interesting in his native language..(you’ve got two non-native english speakers here c’mon…) but, if you want a looky, and you want to hear some specs.. well, there it is.. device shown at 3:33 …UI at 6:03
@mohawk5010 it can take flash with it when it does LOL
guys, this video is FAKE. two tablets on idontknowwhat OSs are connected to a PC thats running chromium os via remote desktop. proof? 1.the shaky and trembling screen resolution 2. that guys using a keyboard and a mouse, which are probably connected to a pc under the desk or sumwhr else.
html5 vid needs some refinement with the ability to jump ahead, but overall nice h.264 quality
can Internet Explorer die already?
Chromium is all about browsers.
Getting it to work at full speed on ARM Powered products is a very big deal for the industry.
WiFi never works in trade shows.
WiFi never works in consumer electronics trade shows cause thousands of devices and routers interfere with each other within few hundred meters.
Holy crap..Terrible video.. and it is 14 minutes long… Terrible promotion of the product. If you are making a video about your product.. talk about your freakin product. The title of this video should be called “Some random boring talk about browsers.” UMMM and if you are going to promote your product.. make sure you have a good WiFi connection first not one that is “totally slow”. And the guy making the video just sounds like he wants show off what techie stuff he knows.
Put a strip of….*
Sorry, I’m fucking tired,…
Out a strip lo black tape on them….
I have bad eyes, and light “shoots” out in “beams” if it’s too bright. ESPECIALLY at night. So at my desktop, I have a strip of electrical tape over the LED on my speaker. Hey, not pretty, but it works.
Damn slow WiFi connection.
I know it’s the WiFi, but someone that doesn’t understand will think the device is at fault. Feel bad for him….. :\
those indicating lights on the top would annoy the fuck out of me.
I agree even for most websites that run flush,
wow great to see
Oh good to thnx
@martyyu it’s still only beta remember, it still has a few minor bugs.
