Google is seemingly busy engaged on merging Android and Chrome OS, in accordance with a brand new report immediately. Particularly, the corporate is attempting to “flip Chrome OS into Android” for the sake of competing with the iPad.
That does not make numerous sense, however numerous issues Google does every so often do not, so it does not imply it isn’t true. An unnamed supply says Google plans to “migrate Chrome OS totally over to Android”, no matter meaning.
Again in June Google introduced that Chrome OS would begin utilizing elements of Android, however this report now claims the merger will go even deeper than that.
We nonetheless do not perceive how this can make Google higher compete with the iPad. iPads run iPadOS, mainly an offshoot of iOS with some tablet-specific options. Google might have added such tablet-specific options to Android over the previous few years. How precisely is Chrome OS going to assist? Chrome OS is an OS designed for reasonable laptops. iPads are costly tablets – do you get our confusion?
Anyway, that is apparently a multi-year undertaking so do not anticipate something to return out of it quickly. When it is completed, future Chromebooks will run the brand new Android that integrates Chrome OS. Or one thing like that. Earlier immediately a rumor instructed us Google is engaged on a Pixel laptop computer, and that might run this new Android/Chrome OS mashup.
