I'm still not convinced of the point of chrome os. I mean, isn't android pretty much already what chrome os is meant to be?

- InclinedPlane 16y agoSort of, but not exactly. Android is very much oriented toward mobile uses, touch-screen UI, apps, etc. Chrome OS is oriented specifically for netbooks. To highlight a specific difference in use: the android UI optimizes for being used for a few minutes at a time, Chrome OS optimizes for being used for hours at a time. I'm not convinced Chrome OS is necessarily better than android for these particular uses but I certainly would love to have lots of different paradigms tested in the market and compete with and cross-pollinate each other.
