Sad; Litl seemed like a good device but i do not think they will survive
against Chromium OS (Moblin is different IMHO you still have native apps
and some controll over your data)

Litl is out now, and Chrome OS will only be here in a year, so they have a chance. I think their main barrier is price, though, not Chrome OS.

Exactly what i think. Chrome OS devices will be cheaper (look at
the long list of hardware partners) and the Google brand will help
a lot in selling the "concept".
Both devices do the same basically and chrome os will end up with
more third party "webapps" so i still think that ltl does not have
a chance ...
