This is a big move and will majorly impact desktop / laptop computing. Now the entire ecosystem of Android apps (even Microsoft Office, Snapchat, Photoshop Express) is going to be available, and arguably this platform is much more complete than say, Universal Apps (Microsoft)
- NetStrikeForce 10y agoIt is more complete than universal apps, but still minimal compared to the Windows ecosystem.
- Nullabillity 10y agoAll mobile applications, regardless of platform, are inherently crippled. It's not as bad as iOS (at least there are user-accessible generic files...), but there's still a lot of stuff that's crippled because of crap like "simplicity" or "we don't have enough screen real estate".
- Splines 10y agoHopefully it will push the Android ecosystem to accommodate larger screen sizes.
- imtringued 10y agoNot to mention that my fingers are huge.
- yohui 10y agoIronically, this also means Chrome OS will support Firefox. I wonder if support will be limited to Google Play, or whether the framework can be used to run third-party apps such as F-Droid.
