A hacker by the handle Hexxeh has successfully ported Google Chrome OS to the iPad.
Hexxeh who had initially teased us with the image of Chrome OS running on an iPad, has released a video of Google Chrome OS running on an iPad.
Chrome OS is an open source operating system that Google is working for people who spend most of their time on the web that is expected to be installed on tablet devices.
As you can see from the video below of Chrome OS seems to be running quite well on the iPad (except for the unnecessary arrow key):
Chrome OS is not the first OS to be ported to an iDevice. Hackers have successfully ported Linux and Android OS including Froyo (Android OS 2.2) to the iPhone or iPod Touch.
Do you dig the idea of having iOS and Chrome OS on your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch as a dual boot system?

I don't understand why I would want chrome on my iPad…
Lol this would be awesome. Not that I need to have it, but just the possible is enough for me. Same reason why I have google chrome os, ubuntu, and winXP on my MacBook. Along with snow leopard of course.
It’s all about possibilities.
What's the point. iOS is much better than others. If I want google or other os I will buy that device.
I rather have jail broken iOS.
good'very good

This seems more of a "look what I did, Ma" than a "I gotta have it" project.
slow….
He is using a app that let's you log into his pc and Hes is using to fool everyone. Noticed you see the arrow when he clicks on the screen. Fake ….
A jailbroken iPhone4 running 4.1 is the only thing most of us really care about right now.
Fake Fake Fake!
overrated
Exactly what I was thinking
it's fake… look ma.. i can control my pc.. Blah, blah, blah
this could be faked for sure
u can watch now flash video n more
I think the same, if I want chorme I would buy it. But I don`t. It`s just like this: Ohhh it`s Ok that my iPad could run on both of OS!!!
Yep possibly a fake Surprised it landed on iPhoneHacks in the first place :O come on guys…
Lol look at all these clueless fanboys. This is amazing, can't wait for a public release!
Its 100% fake! he's using Parallels for iPad and making it sound like he invented something! good try big guy
someone who's got time hurry up use Parallels and use Mozilla and make a video lol saying 'Firefox ported onto a hacked iPad' . LOL
You're the idiot that believes it's real! It's so obvious it's fake. Youre a dumb ass!
then why comment at all? people dont do these types of things just to fill your needs/wants as an ignorant consumer, some people just have a general interest in porting different OSs to different devices because of the challenge. I think its great and i hope to see more of it.
I believe in…
Just because you can…
Doesn't mean you should
chrome interface looks 1000x better than the ios interface on ipad
This is insane, especially as Chrome OS isn't even out yet.
How on earth has the person responsible for this managed to get hold of Chrome OS installation files? Google worker?
