Yesterday was not only Chrome’s 5th birthday, but more importantly, it was the launch of the first native Chrome apps. It is these apps that could drive the Chrome OS into being a true daily driver for many rather than something to dabble with. We have also heard that Chrome and Android will remain separate, but there will probably be more of an overlap in the future.
It is possible that Google could bring these Chrome desktop apps to Android soon. They didn’t say it specifically, but Rahul Roy-Chowdhury, a project manager overseeing the Chrome Apps project said this…
“We’re targeting the desktop as our first order of business because that’s where the majority of our users are. We want to nail that first. But our goal, eventually, is to get this to run everywhere that Chrome runs.”
Of course it remains to be seen if there would be any benefit to these apps on an Android phone, but what about tablets or even the rumored Androidbook?
