Native Android apps will run on ChromeOS

2014-06-25
yeah Google is bringing Chrome OS and Android closer together and that'll eventually mean having Android apps running right on a Chromebook while still in the early stages google says the native Android apps such as vine Evernote and Flipboard will eventually be able to run on Chromebooks the apps can appear in a tall phone sized window or they can be expanded to run as they would on tablets it's been widely expected that this would happen eventually especially after sundar pichai previously the head of chrome alone took control of Android 2 there's still no word when the future will arrive and Chrome OS still has some major hurdles to face mainly these apps were designed for touchscreens and most Chromebooks don't have them yes Chrome has been working with touchscreens since the Chromebook pixel was released last February but for the most part the experience has been unnecessarily tedious that looks like it's about to change also Google announced that Chrome OS will eventually be able to display notifications from a parrot Android phone and that a paired phone will be able to unlock a Chromebook just by coming near it thanks to these updates the mobile and PC divide is continuing to blur
