No... we can sit here and make predictions.. but the real market data is important, and it isn't pretty.
>"In June 2011, Acer and Samsung launched their Chromebooks ahead of other PC brand vendors, but by the end of July, Acer had reportedly only sold 5,000 units and Samsung was said to have had even lower sales than Acer, according to sources from the PC industry
That market is really tiny and it doesn't have the buzz factor of the iPad to push sales. Why not just buy a cheap laptop with Windows 7 and run Chrome browser on it instead of hobbling yourself with a Chromebook?
Google does not release Chromebook and Google TV sales numbers, but they do release number of activations for Android. That should tell you that the numbers are not very good.
