Comments on: HTC to Focus on Android Over Other Platforms? http://gigaom.com/mobile/htc-to-focus-on-android-over-other-platforms/ Sat, 11 Feb 2012 21:57:55 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: tal http://gigaom.com/mobile/htc-to-focus-on-android-over-other-platforms/#comment-422954 Thu, 23 Jul 2009 14:11:09 +0000 http://jkontherun.com/?p=40471#comment-422954 Not exactly on this topic, but seems to me that there is a really troubling disconnect between the Android and Chrome/ChromeOS teams.
For me they got the story backwards. While the handset OS is promoting full Java like API the desktop (netbook is just a cover as we all know) OS is promoting extensions within the browser.
There is a disconnection here and they will do themselves a huge favor is someone will start synchronizing the teams.

For instance just as an example, they need to make sure that Android apps will run even on the full Chrome browser.
Soon Moorestown will allow to run Android over Moblin and thus running Chrome on that would be a logical next step. There will be a blend between platforms, and the only difference will eventually be the screen size and less the power of the device.
They should plan ahead for a consistent story otherwise this whole strategy of theirs will break along the way.
