Although expected sometime in 2010, Google’s Chrome OS is now rumoured to be released in Mid-October 2009. This information comes from chattering computer manufacturers in Asia who will release netbooks and similar devices with Google’s chrome OS pre-installed.

The first devices to see the new OS are expected to be powered by the Chinese-designed Loongson CPU. Devices with the Loongson 2F CPU are designed to run Linux software.

Shanzai is reporting that Chrome OS devices will start to appear in mid-October. Netbooks will be the first recipients of the new OS with smartbooks following. There’s not too much time to find out whether all of this is true, personally I’d take all of this news with a pinch of salt.
