31.01.2017 Chromebooks will soon be joined by tablets running Chrome OS With support for Android apps and touchscreens, Chrome OS has become much more attractive, and this year the platform has every chance of increasing its share. We are talking not only about new laptops like the Samsung Chromebook Pro or educational solutions, but also about tablets. Google's director of Android and Chrome products for education and business, Rajen Sheth, said during a recent conference call that Chromebooks are just the beginning for Chrome OS. According to him, manufacturers will be able to produce not only laptops, but also other, more versatile devices: "You can expect in the future both laptops with detachable screens and tablets based on Chrome OS . " If those words are not enough, there is other evidence: Google is definitely working on a touch-friendly Chrome OS interface. If you look at the above photo of the Samsung Chromebook Pro (which is not fully a tablet), you will notice that the icons have become noticeably larger than they were before. Google also promised that all new Chromebooks will support the Google Play store and Android apps, and that there will be products bundled with digital pens. Android apps are clearly more suitable for tablets than laptops. Finally, this year, Android apps on Chrome OS will be able to stretch like regular windows, rather than being displayed in one of several fixed sizes. Кстати, сама Google выпускала ранее Android-планшет Pixel C на базе Android. Появление Chrome-планшетов не обязательно означает успех. Но Раджен Шет говорит: поисковый гигант активно трудится над тем, чтобы Android-приложения лучше работали на больших экранах. Возможно, более широкая установочная база Chrome OS заставит разработчиков создавать приложения, которые не выглядят как раздутые программы для смартфонов. Google определённо на этот надеется, отмечая, что Adobe перерабатывает свои Android-приложения для улучшенной поддержки хромбуков. Так что, быть может, на смену Android-планшетам, которые в последнее время ушли в тень, придут более интересные и универсальные устройства — планшеты на базе Chrome OS?
