Last April, the company launched a Chrome app packager that allowed anyone to run their Android apps on Windows, Mac, Linux and Chrome OS.<\/p>\n<p>The discovery comes a month ahead of Google\u2019s annual I\/O developer conference, scheduled for May 18-20 at the Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View.<\/p>\n<p>It could be a huge step forward for Chromebooks and the Chrome OS platform as it\u2019d enable users to access a wealth of apps and extend the functionality of their devices.<\/p>\n<p>Ars Technica ntoes that Google Play\u2019s arrival on Chrome OS might signal the end of the Chrome Web Store, which hosts Web apps, extensions and themes for the platform. It hasn\u2019t got much love by way of new features in a long time and is limited in its ability to accept payments when compared to Google Play.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve contacted Google for comment and will update this post if there\u2019s a response.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Source: Thenextweb<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google\u2019s Chrome OS might soon get a serious shot in the arm that will make it a lot more enticing.
