Google denies the merger between Android and Chrome OS

Technology: While the prospect of a merger between Android and Chrome OS has been in the air for quite some time, Hiroshi Lockheimer, the head of both operating systems at Google, explained that this would not happen

Will there finally be a real fusion between Android and Chrome OS? Frequently evoked for over a year, this possibility seemed to come a little closer with the recent opening of the Google Play app store on Chrome OS. However, Google had already clearly denied any merger project by the voice of Hiroshi Lockheimer, Senior Vice President Android, Chrome OS and Chromecast. Obviously not enough since the latter again has to cut short this idea

S’exprimant lors de l’émission All About Android, il a expliqué qu’une fusion entre Android et Chrome OS ne servirait à rien, soulignant que les deux OS avaient du succès et que les ventes de Chromebook avaient dépassé celles de Mac lors du premier trimestre de cette année

En revanche, Lockheimer a confirmé que l’objectif était bien de cultiver un rapprochement judicieux, une “pollinisation croisée”, afin que chaque plateforme bénéficie mutuellement de leurs meilleures fonctionnalités respectives. (Eureka Presse)
