An anonymous reader writes “Hot on the heels of the $25 ARM computer — Google is to offer a $20 per month package for students, which includes a Chrome OS laptop (like the Cr-48) and an online component, which will likely include a storage bump for a user’s Google Docs, Gmail, Picasa Web, and Google Music files. This would serve two purposes for Google: First, Google will be able to expand its existing user base for Chrome OS. For half the price of a typical cell phone contract, students will be able to pick up a netbook with 3G connectivity. Second, Google will be able to test the package offering publicly prior to eventually adding an enterprise version for Google Apps users.”
