But here’s a rundown tailored for end users, not programmers. You can find out more from the Android Apps for Chromebooks and Large Screen Devices session from Google I/O 2017. And, in some cases, what they have done to address them. Speculation about the cause of these delays was correct in the broad strokes: The work of integrating Androids apps with Chromebook proved to be far more difficult than Google had originally expected.īut now we know a bit more about the problems Google faced. The reason? Android integration with Chromebook. The Chromebook Plus shipped in February, but the Intel-based Pro model was delayed repeatedly-from March to April and then to May-and is now expected to ship in the next few weeks. The questions continued in early 2017 when Samsung announced its Chromebook Plus and Chromebook Pro 2-in-1 devices, which were marketed as the first Chromebooks to ship with an integrated pen support. But as 2016 turned into 2017, only a few Chromebooks could run Android apps as part of a pre-release program, leading to questions about Google’s ability to even pull off this feat. The plan at the time was for this work to be done by the end of the year. You may recall that Google announced one year ago that it would bring Android apps and the Google Play Store to Chromebooks. And helps to explain what’s taking so long. But a Google I/O session went much deeper. Google only made a single, brief mention of its efforts to add Android apps to Chromebooks during last week’s Google I/O keynote address.
