Google will merge ChromeOS and Android into a unified platform, according to Sameer Samat, President of Android Ecosystem at Google. "We're going to be combining ChromeOS and Android into a single platform, and I am very interested in how people are using their laptops these days and what they're getting done," Samat said during a recent interview.

Does this mean they've given up on Fuschia? We've been hearing that was coming for years.

I also question if this move will mean the end of those low cost Chromebooks that got so many to use them, and schools to purchase them. It'll be interesting to see where this ends up.

Not necessarily, been a little while since I checked on it, but my understanding was fuchsia was Google's home grown replacement for the Linux kernel.

It's in use already on some of their nest devices IIRC and there's always been speculation that eventually they may introduce it as an alternative kernel for Android (or chrome OS, though obviously less likely now) one day
