Do you already for the year Android and Chrome OS will be merged? According to a Wall Street Journal reports, according to which Google has for two years been working on this project. The idea seems to make sense, and as the holder of the Chromebook I hope that soon comes to its implementation.
It is not clear whether the new Android trafiłby only on Chromebooks, or it could be installed on all computers. Taking into account the previous, Google’s open strategy can be expected that the new operating system will run on all possible devices, but Google recommends buying ready-made computers with just the software. You can also expect that the current Chromebooks would bring them relevant updates.
As the owner of a computer with Chrome OS I have in this great hope.
With Chrome OS uses me very well, but I have to admit that this system has one very serious flaw. Now, developers do not want to create dedicated his application. Moreover, I am sure that this state of affairs will not change. The cause will be the same as in the case of Windows Mobile, which is struggling with exactly the same problem: the habits of developers and users. Users do not want to use the system, which is not their favorite programs. In turn, developers do not want to create programs for unprofitable platform that does not have many users. The circle is closed.
But Google has the tools that this state of affairs filled with concrete change. This can happen by making use Google Play store for Chrome OS. It sounds like a pipe dream? Wrongly. Presented over a year ago Archon tool showed that the Android software can seamlessly run on Chrome OS, and adapt them to it does not require too much effort. A few years ago, when he reigned only Android smartphones, it would be otherwise. In the end, a program designed for small display will not be well presented on the computer.
Android gaining more and more popularity but also on a large tablet, which is already quite close to PCs. Indeed, these programs will not be perfectly suited to control via keyboard and mouse, but can be a good beginning that will convince customers to new types of computers, and programmers to the fact that maybe want to create their new programs not only for your touch . In this way the problem mentioned earlier, zabetonowanego state of affairs will be resolved, and Android will become a true competitor to Windows and OS X.
First, the consumer, then a pro.
It was getting rid of the competition Google is the main goal. The company from Mountain View reigns in the market of smartphones, tablets, enters the televisions and cars. But still not ruled on the PC market. At least theoretically, because in practice it is Google created the world’s most popular browser – Chrome. At the same time it is a kind of Trojan horse, the operating system on another operating system that makes the users do not have problems with the transition to based precisely on this browser the system.
Of course, this rule applies only not very demanding users who work mainly in the browser. After the integration of Android and Chrome OS to the new system also will find people that use the Windows habit, but do not require its professional capabilities. When you turn to him to convince users that developers will create a variety of platforms, Google also professional programs. In this way, Google will gain the opportunity to beat Microsoft at its own stool and put Android on absolutely all currently used smart appliances.
