It also supports wifi ofcourse. I'm sure it will also only push changes of the OS/personal settings to "the cloud" when you are not downloading webpages. So it would not interfere with your . Atleast if they are smart.
Also, I think (webpage/apps) developers will eventually start to understand the HTML5 Offline cache. Without it it would be useless, you are right.
But what if every application you ran was downloaded/updates from the internet every time you use it and the last version you downloaded was always cached locally for when you don't have any connectivity.
That is what this is.
It gets interresting when you'll just have a device as big as the current touch/smart phones and you can plug in a normal screen, mouse, keyboard, headphones/headset, etc. wherever you are.
Hell, it probably will be your phone.

I still don't understand how this would be different from having a netbook with Android on it and using the webbrowser.
There are still areas where there is no 3G coverage where this silly Chrome OS would probably not work fast enough.
I can't believe there is even a market for this.
