Google confirms it's 'combining' Chrome OS and Android into a single platform


We first heard back in November that Google could merge Chrome OS into Android. Now, an executive has publicly confirmed plans for a merger.

Sameer Samat, president of Android ecosystem at Google, asked a TechRadar journalist why they were using an Apple Watch, iPhone, and MacBook: I asked because we’re going to be combining Chrome OS and Android into a single platform, and I am very interested in how people are using their laptops these days and what they’re getting done. The executive didn’t give any more details about the initiative, but we previously reported that Google plans to migrate Chrome OS over to Android rather than combining the two to create an all-new platform.
