Regarding the price, a maximum of 400$ per unit is expected.
Google is also looking to more cloud printing solutions, as Google Docs code was uncovered for support for such a feature. It’s another tie in for Google Chrome OS, which is seeing a number of integration points throughout Google’s larger system. Cloud printing in particular is a growing area of interest, from the printer companies, personal cloud-management services, etc. Google’s Chrome-Android combo is even encouraging printer manufacturers like HP to develop around the operating system.
The Chrome browser is also living up to expectations, and it’s growing at a fairly rapid pace. Gaining market share from Mozilla is the going trend, though Microsoft is making some overall comebacks with its browser and search.
