Former Google employee, Gmail creator, and FriendFeed founder Paul Buchheit has come out and said what a lot of people have been whispering....Chrome OS is not necessary and will be merged with Android. On his FriendFeed page Buchheit said:
Prediction: Chrome OS will be killed next year (or “merged” with Android).What will differentiate the two, especially when the tablet-optimized Android 3.0 (Honeycomb) launches in early 2011? Does Google have some grand scheme that is not obvious to the rest of the world or have they stuck their thumbs in too many pies in their quest for world domination? [TechCrunch]
I was thinking, “is this too obvious to even state?”, but then I see people taking Chrome OS seriously, and Google is even shipping devices for some reason.
Chrome OS has no purpose that isn’t better served by Android (perhaps with a few mods to support a non-touch display).
