Chrome OS is here to stay
"no plan to phase out Chrome OS"does not explicitly refute"speculation that Chrome OS will be folded into Android"Especially since the original story stated that google was going to "combine the operating systems":http://www.wsj.com/articles/alphabets-google-to-fold-chrome-...Google could easily market the combined OS as "Chrome OS" rather than Android. In fact that might be a good idea if they're going to make the experience/distribution model more Google-led like it is with Chrome OS.
