Google took many years to come out with a phone after Apple’s iPhone, but it looks like they’ll only take a few months to put out their tablet after the unveiling of the Apple iPad.

A number of blogs are reporting on pictures of Google’s tablet (still under development) posted at the Chromium dev site.

One big difference between the Apple iPad (and iPhone) and Google’s Android and Tablet is that with Google, you can run multiple programs at once. So you need a UI to switch programs, and Google came up with dragging windows:

Google is said to be working with HTC, who made Google’s Nexus One cell phone, to create the Google Tablet.

Google Tablet: Full Keyboard

Google Tablet: Split Keyboard

Google Tablet: Keyboard Anchored to Side

Google Tablet: Context Menu

Google Tablet: Switching Programs

Google Tablet: Dragging WIndows
