Google has been maintaining Chrome OS and Android separately for a while now, with the former being used on desktop and laptop computers and the latter powering phones and tablets. Soon, though, Chrome OS and Android may become one.
A new report from the Wall Street Journal claims that Google is planning to fold Chrome OS into Android. Google engineers have reportedly been working on the project for a couple of years now, and they apparently made some solid progress recently. Google may show an early version of its single OS in early 2016, with a targeted ship date in 2017.
