A week with Googlebooks: four notes from our testing so far

Googlebooks’ hardware may be strong, but the article argues the software and app ecosystem are not yet ready for enterprise adoption, creating a risky early experience that can undermine user productivity and supportability. For CIOs, the strategic takeaway is that Google’s move from ChromeOS to Android-based laptops could become a viable alternative platform only if Google and its developer partners rapidly close gaps in windowing, desktop workflows, and app optimization; until then, IT teams should expect friction, higher help desk load, and uneven end-user satisfaction.
