With many area schools using Chromebooks in their 1:1 deployments, the title of this post may have got a lot of hearts racing! ARS Technica is reporting that Google might be looking to combine Chrome OS and Android. Some have said this means Chrome OS is going to be killed off. While others believe it won’t. Like many news bits in tech, it seems to early to tell.

More reading from CNET gives us 3 reasons why Google may be folding Chrome OS into Android (and one reason it shouldn’t).

Hiroshi Lockheimer, the new senior vice president of Android and Chrome OS weighted in on Twitter why you shouldn’t be worried about Chrome OS. Does it placate you?

There’s a ton of momentum for Chromebooks and we are very committed to Chrome OS. I just bought two for my kids for schoolwork!
