So what does Google Chrome Means ?
Well according to their press release they are expected to release it not before 2010. As its going to be a very basic operating system so of course it wont be as powerful as Microsoft or OSX. But its going to be open source source so its free and with the Google API experience it would give developers to develop apps on it free of cost and maybe sell it on their app store. Apart from that competition with Microsoft 7 and OSX is going to be tough. Consumer market maybe but corporate sector i am not sure.

Features of Google Chrome Operating System:
Though in their press release Google did not reveal any part of their operating system so lets assume what could be so wonderful about Google OS, could it be revolutionary like iPhone which i am not sure as they always build simple / better and then focus on revolution. So here is what i think Google OS could bring along:

• It wont crash at least it would not have a blue screen.
• No viruses and Trojans, probably they are redoing the architecture around Linux so no virus and secure.
• Gmail Account will be your log in name to the operation system, you are logged into the operating system you are logged into every Google product no more login / password screens.
• Not cluttered with baseless applications like .Net framework in Windows Vista, and a chunk of useless software’s and applications.
• Its Free of cost means reduced prices on notebooks (though Ubuntu / Linux made such attempts didn’t work out pretty well so lets see what Google pulls out of that).
• Very simple and easy to install 3 clicks install would be awesome, of course drivers should be installed with it.
• As it wont have cluttered applications so maybe they might be able to jump up internet speed / video streaming speed / browsing speed.
• No need for offline applications, web will be build in the operating system everything in it will be connected with web, for office usage use Google Docs, Calendar use Google Calendar.
• Very few desktop applications, initially or for a couple of years.
• No more flashy screens or desktop, simple clean and usable.
• No more starting an OS you open your laptop and your operating system is on, basically there shouldn’t be a shutdown or restart feature in the operating system.
• Maybe web apps would be able to work offline in Google Chrome, i.e. python application, php, java application will run smoothly offline and fill in the lack of missing apps.
• Interface is going to be as simple as Chrome, means no flashy elements, no effects and no heavy graphical user interface.
• Core focus of the Operating system is going to be go online and work around the web, for office use Google Docs, for videos use youTube.

Well they are mostly just random prediction, no one can be sure how well it goes or would it be Microsoft OS killer. We would have to wait and see.

What is youTube RealTime ?
YouTube Real time is something closer to Facebook toolbar which was something inspired by Microsoft Windows so we all should give credit to Windows for it. Any how apart from that YouTube Real Time is a toolbar that shows a list of friends currently online, their recent activities and provides notifications when one of your friends posts / comments or rates a video. Quite a familiarity with Facebook but i am trying to avoid the comparison. So according to the blog post by Google the toolbar does lack some of the facebook features like chatting with friends and watching videos at the same time for which i am sure the engineers at Google are working round to add them up.

How do i enable youTube RealTime ?
The Real time Toolbar is an invite only just like Google’s Gmail, which gives a good viral marketing for the toolbar and helps avoid any drastic pressure on the system. So if you have a friend who some how got the invite then you can be invited to it as each of the friend can 25 invitations. If you don’t have any friend then you have to monitor the search results for you tube peep on Twitter and you might find some one nice who could get you an invite. So people go ahead find out the Invite and of course if you get one do invite me to

As the name say’s Multiple Inbox does not give you ability to have Gmail inbox for seperate email accounts which we are using with Gmail, this was the first thing that came in to my mind. Though Multiple Inbox gives you ability to divide your inbox into portions and help you sort your email easily. Simply after installing Gmail Multiple Inbox you can go to setting and set up rules for the multiple inbox i.e. any mail that is marked with a star  ‘is:stared’ show it separately in you multiple inbox panel also you can configure where you want to place your multiple inbox i.e. on top , or on left or bottom.

So Multiple Inbox is the ability to divide your inbox into portions based on your own settings. A good feature to sort your mails but adding to many labs feature does give issues with performance, specially the initial loading of gMail is becoming problematic in Firefox.

Source: Google Blog > Multiple Inbox in gMail

Now you can access your Gmail even if their is no internet. Gmail primaralary being used via browser, one feature that lacks there is the ability to access email even if you are offline. Maybe you are travelling and you cannot gain access to Wifi but you would like to sort the emails that are already in the inbox.

So now with Gmail labs you can make your Gmail accessible even if you are offline. You can enable this feature by going into Lab’s and once enabled Gmail will use Google Gears to download a local cache of your email inbox.  Once you are connected to the internet that cache will be synchronized with Gmail’s servers. But if you loose connetivity Gmail will automatically switch to offline mode & the data stored on your computer’s hard drive will be made accesible to you.

So What exactly can you do in Offline Mode

In offline mode you can read messages, star and lable them and even send emails while working offline. Though your messages will be not be send immediately rather they will be stored in your outbox and once you go online will be dispatched immediately. The offline mode is somewhere close to our desktop email clients, get email and read and sort even when offline.

Another interesting feature of the offline mode is the ability to use “flakey connection mode” means if you connection is slow and keeps on disconnecting then this the mode for you. In this mode the inbox will used from the cache and once it finds the connection a little stable it will sync up your email in the background thus making the email inbox much faster and less dependent on the internet.

Great job by the Gmail team indeed and i just jumped into using the Gmail Offline Mode.

So What exactly is YouTube HD ?
Yes that is the first question i asked and found out that HD “High Defination” means that YouTube will allow its video creater to upload videos in Better quality and higher resolutions and YouTube will keep their quality upto that level. So far if a video uploaded at YouTube is above 1280 x 720 (16×9 HD)  it will be considered HD.

YouTube recently began offering users an option to view content in high definition- 720p resolution (when the source upload supports it). Please note, we are currently experimenting with this feature and optimizing it accordingly, so we can’t guarantee that your videos will always be transcoded into this format with this user option present.

For an example of a video being streamed in 720p resolution, please click this link and then click on the text toggle “watch in HD” located beneath the right hand corner of the player.
