Opinion : Google Chrome OS, Android Not Aiming For Windows... Yet

Ultimately, as Brin noted, both extremes are converging. Google Chrome OS will adopt a number of desktop features with the same happening to ARM (with dual core processors and higher speeds).

Smartphones will become as powerful as Netbooks. In turn these will pack as much punch as laptops and the latter will be as outlandish as desktops at least when it comes to processing power.

Even if some, like Randall C Kennedy from PC Advisor, say that "the world won't buy an inflexible OS" like Chrome OS, it is too easy to forget that Chrome OS and Android are first and foremost, platforms for mobile devices.
