Sure enough, on day two of I/O, Google unveiled the first Chromebooks, the first shipping products running Chrome OS. But Google also noted that the first orders wouldn&#39;t start until June 15, about a month away. One reason: Chrome OS still needed a tiny bit more work. And an update today brings it very close.
23
+
24
+ Google has just updated the Chrome OS beta channel to R12, aka Chrome 12. The version, which has been in the dev channel for a couple of weeks, will now be further tested in beta for a couple of weeks before it becomes the first version of Chrome OS to go stable. Expect this to happen slightly before the June 15 date."><link rel="image_src" href="http://tctechcrunch.files.wordpress.com/2011/05/8_e_c_5_4_1_8_b_1_e_b_e_c_6_a_9_6_e_0_8_3_2_f_d_9_b_a_1_2_7_9_d.jpeg"> <script src="./techcrunch_files/remote-login.php" type="text/javascript"></script>

Sure enough, on day two of I/O, Google unveiled the first Chromebooks, the first shipping products running Chrome OS. But Google also noted that the first orders wouldn’t start until June 15, about a month away. One reason: Chrome OS still needed a tiny bit more work. And an update today brings it very close.</p>
579
+ <p>Google has just <a href="http://googlechromereleases.blogspot.com/2011/05/chrome-os-beta-channel-update_16.html">updated</a> the Chrome OS beta channel to R12, aka Chrome 12. The version, which has been in the dev channel for a couple of weeks, will now be further tested in beta for a couple of weeks before it becomes the first version of Chrome OS to go stable. Expect this to happen slightly before the June 15 date.</p>
580
+ <p>Following Google I/O, we got some <a href="http://techcrunch.com/2011/05/15/samsung-series-5-chromebook/">hands-on time with the first Chromebook</a>, the Samsung Series 5. Sure enough, it was running Chrome OS version 12 (though the dev version).&nbsp;Representatives&nbsp;from Google stated that this would eventually be the build (when complete) that ships with the first Chromebooks.</p>
581
+ <p>So what does Chrome OS R12 contain? Well, it’s essentially Chrome 12, the browser (which is also in beta), with a number of Chrome OS-specific features. Those include:</p>
582
+ <ul>
583
+ <li>File browser</li>
584
+ <li>Shiny new look</li>
585
+ <li>Improvements to GSM support</li>
586
+ <li>Verizon activation improvements</li>
587
+ <li>New Flash player</li>
588
+ <li>Feedback link is now under the wrench menu (“Report an issue”)</li>
589
+ <li>3G connection to the carrier fixes</li>
590
+ <li>Wi-Fi connectivity/Out of the Box fixes</li>
591
+ <li>New trackpad and sensitivity setting adjusted</li>
592
+ <li>Auto update engine and debugging improvements</li>
593
+ <li>Power optimizations</li>
594
+ <li>GTalk video/chat optimizations</li>
595
+ <li>Improved on screen indicators: brightness, network status, update icon</li>
596
+ </ul>
597
+ <p>I just updated my Cr-48 to the new build and it’s feeling pretty polished (though there are still some bugs — such as with Angry Birds). Notably, it makes the trackpad feel more stable than ever. So if you have a Cr-48 and want a glimpse of what the first Chromebooks will feel like, check it out.</p>
