In another sign of the emerging power of mobile, Google says it plans to fold its Chrome PC operating system into its Android mobile OS. People familiar with the matter indicate that Google engineers have been working to combine the operating systems for about two years. While the new OS would likely not be available until 2017, the company expects to show an early version next year. Android now powers more than one billion smartphones and other devices. “Google’s new version of Android will also run PCs, giving users access to Google’s Play store, which offers more than one million apps,” explains The Wall Street Journal. “Google wants to get its software and moneymaking services such as Search and YouTube on as many devices as possible.”
