, Mar 21st 2013 Discuss [0]

It seemed like a real possibility when Android chief Andy Rubin stepped down, while the Chrome OS chief took over, but as expected, it still doesn't look like Android and Chrome OS will be merging any time soon, according to Google chairman and former CEO Eric Schmidt, who broke the sad news to attendees at Google's Big Tent event in India.

Andy Rubin replaced as Android chief: Chrome merge looks more likely

, Mar 13th 2013 Discuss [0]

Google has announced the mother of all shake-ups, with Andy Rubin stepping down from his position as Android lead, and handing over the reins to Sundar Pichai. The news – which will see Rubin “start a new chapter at Google” according to CEO Larry Page – will consolidate Android with Chrome and Apps, the two areas in which Sundar already manages. The transition is only likely to fuel speculation that Google will merge Android and Chrome OS.

Don’t expect Android and Chrome OS to merge any time soon

, Feb 27th 2013 Discuss [0]

Android and Chrome OS: Google’s split attention between two overlapping platforms has long come in for criticism, but rumors of a merge in time for the Chromebook Pixel failed to pan out. Then again, is the world ready for a $1,300 Chromebook, no matter whether it runs Android or Chrome OS? Perhaps not, Google’s director of Android user experience, Matias Duarte, says, but there’s more in Pixel’s prescience of the touchscreen future, he argues.

The Chromebook Pixel: beautiful vehicle, low-grade gasoline

, Feb 21st 2013 Discuss [0]

With the Google-made Chromebook Pixel we’ve got several points that the company hopes will be made right from the start – the first being an erasure of the hardware from our experience. They say this in the “Chromebook Pixel: For What’s Next” presentation video provided today at the launch of the product – Andrew Bowers, Group Product Manager on the Chromebook project with Google literally says, “we basically wanted the hardware to disappear.” If that’s the case, does it really make sense to release the Pixel at all?
