Google Android => Chrome

Google Puts Android and Chrome Under One Boss - NYTimes.com:
Andy Rubin, who had been senior vice president in charge of Android (and its creator)...  has been replaced by Sundar Pichai... the senior vice president of Chrome, and will now oversee Android as well.

Google has stated before a long term goal of "merging" ChromeOS and Android, and recently there was a significant push for ChromeOS devices... 
At the same time, other alternatives to Android are being considered by manufacturers. 

Google's CEO Larry Page wrote: “Andy, more moonshots please!” Google refers to Google X as a lab for “moonshots,” or world-changing ideas. 
There may be something new "cooking" there :)
