11 Jul 09 Chrome OS won’t replace Android

When Google announced their forthcoming Chrome OS a few days ago people wondered if it would go on to replace Android as Google’s mobile OS as well.

However, Google’s VP of Mobile Engineering Platforms, Andy Rubin, recently told the community that there is nothing to worry about and that Android is here to say. He elaborated by saying a mobile OS has much different priorities (such as network protocols and cell tower communication) than those found from a desktop OS.

So Android adopters, you can lay your worries to rest, Chrome OS and Android will exist together without replacing one another. However, I can see some very deep integration of the two within one another, don’t you think?
