Agreed. There are folks that are working on hacking it onto other phones though. It's possible to do, since it is open source. I'm looking forward to a release that is actually usable on the HTC Touch Pro. Check this out:

The problem is, the selection of phones running Android. It's really limited in availability as a mobile OS is the thing.

Well, they're already working on Android for cell phones. The article on the official Google blog mentioned that Android will continue to be a separate project and that Chrome OS is really intended more for PCs (desktops, notebooks, and netbooks included).

I think they should definitely develop it for cellphones. Afterall since it's so lightweight it's going to be used in netbooks, it might also work perfect with smartphones.
