They have been working on Fuscia forever and no signs of shipping, one of many projects that seem to be designed to entertain very expensive talent to keep them busy. Part of me wonders if many of these projects really only exist to remove potential competitors from the market. Anytime some engineer seems to be capable of building an Android opportunity; hire them on a make work project to keep them busy which will never Be launched, and they know it will never be launched. Terrible for the industry . If that’s what happening it’s a form of cancer, preventing the best people not only from advancing themselves and taking risks in the real world but also consumers.

  Indeed, I would also argue it is shipped. They may not want outsiders to deploy it yet, and ChromeOS and Android ideally need to run existing Android apps before it can ship to end users, so that it can take from the existing ecosystem of apps. That would be the killer feature to ensure initial adoption.
