Concept images and a video have shown up on the Chromium site for the yet to be released Chrome OS operating system from Google.

Although a launch of the Google powered OS isn't expected until November at the earliest, that hasn't stopped the search engine releasing images and a video of a possible user interface for people to get excited about.

However, in a move to show that nothing has been finalised, the images show a very different user interface (UI) to the video.  

Both, however, show the tablet being able to multitask between different applications, something that currently Apple's iPad is unable to do.
