Android and Chrome OS will remain seperate
Google chairman Eric Schmidt has said that the company will not
merge its Android and Chrome operating systems, telling attendees at Google's Big Tent event in India
that the two platforms are "certainly going to remain separate for a very
long time, because they solve different problems." The denial comes after
Google announced its executive reshuffle, where Google VP of Chrome and Apps,
Sundar Pichai, replaced Andy
Rubin as the head of Android department.
Schmidt did say that while
Android and Chrome would not merge, there would be more "commonality"
between them, which doesn't rule out the possibility that Chrome OS may one day
run Android apps. With news of Google's
Reader shuttering still fresh in
people's minds, Schmidt also said neither platform would be abandoned.
