News: Google Hassles iPad

Google looks like it’s going to give Apple a run for its money, with the search engine releasing mock-up images of how its Chromium mobile OS might look on say…an iPad?

Interface designer at Google, Glen Murphy, published a selection of images of this hypothetical system on his blog, along with a video detailing its potential use on an unnamed tablet device.

The system would feature a multi-touch interface and uses similar gestural commands to Apple’s device for navigating and resizing.

The move follows Google’s bypassing Apple to release a browser-based Google Voice app for the iPhone after Apple refused to distribute it through its own online store.
