Chrome OS Development Update brings multiple monitor support

Google has recently been doing a great job of promoting its Chromebooks products, made mainly by Samsung and Acer. We noted that the company made a temporary display of Chrome OS based notebooks in Times Square, similar to what Microsoft did last month when it was released by Windows 8. The current Chrome OS is not yet able to extend the content of the screen to another display, and according to Maximumpc.com, Google has finally brought multi-monitor support to Chrome OS devices in a recent developer update.

The update also includes the Chromebox desktop PC, also made by Samsung.

The update also includes additional enhancements and features, such as Google's "smart Window Locator" (Intelligent windows positioning). "If you don't move your windows manually, we will always arrange for them to show more content," Google said in a note explaining the feature. The update also brings up a new version of Pepper Flash (the sandbox versions of Adobe Flash Player).

The software update is currently available only in the Chrome OS development channel, and Google looks likely to bring an official update to Chromebook and Chromebox users in the near future.
