In defending its plans for both Android and the new Chrome OS, Google has said that while Chrome OS is optimized for the web, Android is device “agnostic,” possible to run on a myriad of products, including even refrigerators. However, Android has so far only been available on a handful of phones.
Android was set to move beyond the mobile phone to the netbook but those plans have been put in limbo since the announcement of Chrome OS, since many of the same PC makers who were going to put Android on their computers have since said they are working with Google on Chrome OS.
