Google is dropping some big Chrome OS news on us at Day 2 of Google I/O, and in order to wrap our heads around all of the news we're putting together a running list of everything Google has to announce.
Support for Android apps from Google Play on Chrome OS
Right at the start of the day, Google announced that Android apps are coming in full force to Chromebooks, Chromeboxes and Chromebases.
The apps will be distributed through Google Play, and will run and install on the Chromebooks just as any other app. Android apps on Chrome OS will run in one of three different sizes (not just fullscreen), and can be interacted with seamlessly using touch, keyboard and mouse. Users will receive notifications, and the apps will have proper network, file and inter-app communication access on the computer.
Chrome OS devices compatible with Google Play
Starting in June, developers will be able to get their apps ready to run on Chrome OS using one of a few Chromebooks — Google's own Chromebook Pixel, the ASUS Chromebook Flip and the Acer Chromebook R11 — running on the Developer channel of Chrome OS.
For regular consumers, Google already has a running list of Chrome OS devices that will be compatible with Android apps when the feature launches later this year— there are a lot right at launch.
