Google-based operating systems Chrome OS and Android are being seen to be rivals in most aspects. Though Android was released for mobile application devices, the newer applications intended for Android’s growing popularity to be installed on netbooks and other bigger devices other than mobile phones is setting a threat to the recently launched Chrome OS.
Google is aware of it, of course. Prior to the release of Chrome OS, Google have come to know that there are plans on making Android available to netbooks and other computers. Computer manufacturers have even said in advance that they are supporting Android’s use to their newer versions of computers. Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) and Acer are in discussions for their plans of installing Android on their next models.
However, some of the smartphones and mobile phone manufacturers and developers who have decided to use Android for their products are still in doubt whether Google will still be supporting Android over Chrome. HTC, the first to offer smartphones in Android, and Motorolla, who has been blessed with Android’s introduction to their products in the market, are geared full support with Google’s plans on whether to use Android or Chrome.
Of course there are obvious lapses on the growth and possible developments for Android and Chrome but for now, companies still do stick with the capacity of the two Google-based operating systems – Chrome for PCs and netbooks while Android for mobile phones and smartphones
