In a recent interview with EE Times, Lenovo “master inventor” Howard Locker discussed his opinions on technologies and confirmed that they will be looking at Google’s Chrome OS.

Amidst discussion of Linux’s failure in mainstream PCs and wireless technology, Locker said Lenovo will be giving Google feedback on Chrome OS, but that “it’s too early to tell because they don’t even have alpha code to test.” This puts a bit of a kink in my plans to get excited over an NVIDIA Tegra/Chrome OS device coming in the next couple quarters.

Maybe the Tegra device will run a new version of Windows CE, or even something as radical as Android. Whatever it will be needs to have a strong focus on web browsing and embedded multimedia capabilities.

Check out the whole article, as Locker has a few interesting points around Linux adoption and wireless technologies.
