Hopefully they come out sooner than later!
That's exactly what I'm after. With Lightroom (and, increasingly, development tools) in the cloud, an always on/always connected Chromebook is stating to make sense. Oddly enough, Windows is going the same way (and Apple is rumoured to be moving away from Intel starting in 2010).
