> “A beta release of the Play store is available to users now on the Acer R11 and Asus Flip (and coming soon to Pixel 2015) and can be enabled from the Settings

  Care to elaborate? I'm kind of considering getting an Asus Flip (or maybe a Pixel) as it's clear that a tablet without a keyboard is pretty limited in its functionality for people who like to create rather than simply consume content. Having some apps available would greatly add to the appeal of those devices.

    > Google Play starts rolling out to Chrome OS stable Made it sound like it was coming to all Chrome OS devices (or, at least the ones Google said would be getting it on dev sometime in "late 2016"~). It's just out for two Chromebooks. Got me hook, line, and sinker Venturebeat! (Maybe I was dumb to think that was happening. I saw this when I first woke up. Thought it was a huge surprise designed to beef up the hype before the Oct. 4 event.)

      From talking with the chromebook team I got the impression that this feature is meant for newer devices. Maybe someone from Google can chime in?

      This, and I'm posting from my R11 right now, I see the button to enable the Play store but it's Greyed out. I'm also on the developer channel, apparently you need to be on the stable channel to work. Which requires a powerwash (equivalent of a factory reset for the uninitiated) to revert back to. Damned if I do, damned if I don't because I rather like having Arch Linux a few keystrokes away, but I also want to play with a few Android apps on the toilet :P

    The software is still beta and is limited to just a few devices. The only thing that has changed is that it is now in the stable channel. So basically, nothing has changed, this is not a real roll out
