While we’re talking about Google, in 2016 ChromeOS will gain the ability to install and run Android applications directly from the Google Play store. While the available application selection may not be quite as extensive as what is available on, say, an Android tablet -- it will be similar to what is currently available for Android TV (read: a small, but growing, subset of apps) -- it will still provide a huge boost to what ChromeOS devices can do outside of the browser.
