Sergey Brin: “Android and Chrome will likely converge over time”

Google’s Android has made its presence in the Smartphone market to set-top boxes to netbooks is giving a good competition to the other operating systems competing with it. Most of the Smartphones which are scheduled to release in the first quarter of 2010 by the major companies have chosen Android as their OS for processing the tasks at a greater speed with high efficiency. Whereas the other open-source, light-weight Google Chrome OS which was released in the last week intended specifically for the users who spend most of their time on the web, have initially targeted at netbooks and will be available for consumers in the second half of 2010.

And a few days after Chrome OS was revealed, Android chief Andy Rubin said device makers “need different technology for different products,” explaining that Android and Chrome OS have targeted to work in two different scenarios.

But the co-founder Sergey Brin is confident on his future vision though his approach may not be digested that easily by members of the management team. Brin announced after the company’s Chrome OS presentation that, “Android and Chrome will likely converge over time.” Brin’s statement on combining both the OS’s have become a point of discussion and every one is excited to know detailed information on this. But the official info is yet to be revealed out that when these both the OS’s will be clubbed into a single OS.

“As Sundar [Pichai, Google's vice president of product management] said in his presentation, we’re reaching a perfect storm of converging trends where computers are behaving more like mobile devices, and phones are behaving more like small computers.”
