The Wall Street Journal reported last week that Google would be merging Chrome OS into its Android mobile OS, but the company says that neither operating system will stop existing independently.  "While we’ve been working on ways to bring together the best of both operating systems, there's no plan to phase out Chrome OS," the company writes. Google has kept the distinction between Chrome OS, for its laptop hardware like Chromebooks, and Android, for its tablets and smartphones, though has hinted in the past that the two would eventually converge.
