The Play Store is coming to Chrome OS, Google announced at its I/O developer conference today — and with that, you will soon be able to install and run virtually any Android app on your Chromebooks and Chromeboxes.
It’s no secret that Google has been working on this project for quite a while now. You were already able to run a few Android apps on Chrome OS before, too. This new project, however, uses a completely different technology. As Chrome OS director of product manager Kan Liu told me, the earliest version used ARC (the Android Runtime for Chrome) and Native Client.
