Google and HTC Working On a Chrome OS Tablet?

Smarthouse, an Australian publication, reports that HTC and Google have been collaborating "for the past 18 months" and have produced "several working models of a touch tablet," including one outfitted with Google’s Chrome OS.

Having collaborated on the Nexus One, HTC and Google partnering on a tablet seems like a promising prospect. But will it "compete head on" with Apple’s tablet as Smarthouse claims? Probably not.

Apple have been rumoured to be releasing their own tablet and with an event supposedly coming up later this month we should not have to wait too long to find out what it is all about, my money is on a large screen tablet running iPhone OS designed specifically for Ebook reading, but we will see.
