Inasmuch as you can already run android apps on chromebooks, I don't imagine this will be particularly surprising to anyone at all

Google exec says the company will unify Android and ChromeOS

Sameer Samat, the president of Google’s Android ecosystem, confirmed the change in an interview.

@scalzi They are quite different under the hood, so I would say that this is still surprising to an extent. You can run Android apps on ChromeOS, but you can also do that on regular Linux. It's ultimately mostly a hack and doesn't bring you closer to unifying the platforms.

The only way this can go IMHO is that they get rid of ChromeOS altogether and try to focus more on a desktop experience for Android, since that is a bigger market by far and they're unlikely to make it more like ChromeOS.
