It was the last word at Snapdragon Summit.

One of the biggest stories out of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Summit in Maui isn’t just about Qualcomm — it’s how Google is finally merging Android and ChromeOS to create a new operating system for computers. Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon revealed that it’s finally happening, and now, a Google exec has revealed when it’s happening, too.

    Chromebooks traditionally have a working linux VM, so this is likely not impacted by the change.

    And btw, you can still download apps from any website as long as the app is signed by a registered developer.
