Chrome OS sightings…

Song Jiang of “Shanzi.com” says it’s hearing whispers about the OS showing up on a device from China “soon” on devices powered by the Chinese-designed Loongson CPU.

Though I would love to see it, I’m guessing that it’s a very stripped down version of Chrome if anything because it’s too early…unless of course Google has something else up it’s sleeve.

See “Chrome Lite” In Action

Reports are coming in that Chrome usage dropped since last week. 

Gregg Keizer writes in Computerworld that users who originally abandoned IE and Firefox are now returning citing Network Applications report that of the 40,000 sites it tracks, this week showed Chrome’s share to be 0.77% of visitors versus last week’s number of 0.85%.

This means 0.08% less Chrome browser visits to the 40k sites.

Doesn’t sound like much to me, but I don’t discount the report. Clearly a huge number of people got excited about Chrome when it first came out and now that they’ve tried it, 10% decided to go back to IE or Firefox.

Another way to look at it is that 90% of the people who tried it during the previous week are still using it now.

It will be interesting to watch the market share as the weeks progress.
