2. 1. Android versus
ChromeOS
Android Is for Touch, Chrome OS Is for
Keyboards
"That's a rather simplified expression of the bigger picture, but ultimately, Google sees Chrome OS as
the operating system for traditional computers, such as PCs, netbooks and laptops, which may include
touch interfaces but always include keyboards; and the company sees Android as an operating
system best suited to mobile devices, which may include keyboards but almost always include touch
interfaces." Address : <http://mashable.com/2010/11/15/android-chrome-os/>
