I have been looking forward to checking out Chrome OS, but haven't had time to
download one of the installers out there right now. It will be nice to have an
official, easy to install version, if they release one. Do they plan to make
it easy for people to download and install the OS, or are they mostly going to
market it to device manufacturers?

Chromium OS is the open source version and is available for download in source
form right now. You'll have to compile it yourself, I think. I'm pretty sure
things will stay that way.

Chrome OS is the closed-source version that is sent to vendors to be installed
on computers. I'm pretty sure Google won't make Chrome OS available for
download, since there will be no single "Chrome OS" image; it'll be customized
for each hardware option.

(I think.)

That makes sense. I will just have to take the initiative and compile it or
download one of the unofficial builds.
