An internet browser with External USB Drive. Sounds amazing.
Point me in the right direction and I'll have 2.

If you meant a tablet... iTunes is Apple only and will never be available on Android/Google Tablets.

Ah! A Samsung Chromebook.

I'm not sure on the Chrome OS though as I've not had the chance of trying it out yet - but,

Looks to be a piece of piss to grasp if your used to Google stuff. Great for basic stuff.
Don't expect to get bored and install Windows 7 to that 16GB drive though. 2GB should run like lighting with it.

But as dejavu has said, itunes is not available on a chromebook.

I was a tester for Google on these last year. I got a free one and free Data out of it.

They are getting better. When I first got it it was simply a browser. Now it has it's own desktop (of sorts) and the Google Suite of things is working better.
You can plug your Digital Camera into it or the SD cards and upload the photo's to Picasa or Facebook etc... If you need Office then you have Google Docs.

I have given it to my mother now who loves it. Does exactly what she wants it to do, surf facebook and email.. Some really good apps/games in the Chrome Store too.

My only issue with it is that Skype is not available. Trying to get everyone to switch to Google Chat (for the Video) is a non starter.. Oh and as mentioned, no iTunes..

So if you can grab a bargain, I would recommend it. Less to go wrong compared to a Windows Laptop for example and it's instant on when you open the lid.
