At the 2016 I/O conference last month, Google announced the exciting news of the Chrome OS getting Android app support in the foreseeable future, and now it published a video online that shows how exactly things will work.
Just recently, the Mountain View company uploaded the 23-minute clip on YouTube via the Google Developers channel, giving Chromebook owners everywhere a peek at what to expect when the update goes live.
Needless to say, there's no longer any need to wait for the Play Store to go official on the Chrome OS to get a good long look at how Android apps will run on the Google-branded software.
"We're bringing the Play Store to Chromebooks," Chrome OS Director of Product Management Kan Liu said on stage, which was followed by a resounding round of applause.
During the demonstration, Liu emphasized how seamless the integration is, particularly how Android apps smoothly popped up in the notification area positioned in the lower right corner of the Chrome OS.
For the record, games such as Galaxy on Fire 2 HD run great on the device, but it should be noted that Liu used a high-end Chromebook to showcase the goodies in store. In other words, a machine that only houses inferior components and a mediocre touch-screen panel won't deliver the same results.
At any rate, this development is more than welcome, and it's a safe bet to assume that practically everyone is anticipating the day it'll get released.
Google is expected to roll out Android app support for Chromebooks sometime in fall.
