In November of last year, Android authority First reported Google’s plans to merge Chrome OS in Android, unifying phones, tablets and computers with a unique operating system. Yesterday, during the Snapdragon Summit, Rick Osterloh (please the devices and services of Google) took the stage to tease these intentions.
Osterloh said: “In the past, we have always had very different systems between what we build on PCs and what we build on smartphones”, and that Google “launched a project to combine this”. As if that was not clear enough, Osterloh also commented that Google “built together a common technical basis for our products on PCs and office computer systems”.

At the time of writing the writing moment, the high comment on the Reddit wire reads as follows: “Imagine a computer, but you can only install software that Google allows you.

No thank you “, while another declares:” Take the free and open Linux nucleus and build BS owners in addition and restrictive appointment at the Playstore, what a joke! “
The more you scroll through the wire, the more comments you find. Another person writes: “I can’t wait to have an Android PC without breeding.

A world with computers fueled by Android is fascinating to think, and I am extremely curious to know if you look forward to this future, or if you cannot excite yourself because of Google’s comments last month.
