Well, it might take perhaps a year for these mockups to become reality. However, they look very promising and make one wondering if it's worth waiting a bit longer instead of buying an iPad in March.

The pictures were posted on the Chromium website, accompanied by the following info:

This is a concept UI under development. Designs are subject to change.

This page contains visual explorations of how a Chrome OS tablet UI might look in hardware. Some possibilites they explore include: 

• Keyboard interaction with the screen: anchored, split, attached to focus.
• Launchers as an overlay, providing touch or search as means to access web sites.
• Contextual actions triggered via dwell.
• Zooming UI for multiple tabs
• Tabs presented along the side of the screen (see Side tabs)
• Creating multiple browsers on screen using a launcher

No idea about the price, but I am ready to buy mine.
