Using Android apps on Chromebooks for greater productivity & flexibility
summary
Chromebooks run Android apps via the Play Store so phone apps install and run on Chrome OS (Marshmallow) with full access to sensors and Play services; demos show Play Store on Chromebook, Google Science Journal capturing live sensor data, and a Unity racing game using gyro — all working live. Chrome OS boots in about seven seconds, US activations hit ~30,000 new devices per day and 58% of K–12 sales, and an Android kiosk mode is available soon for single-app locked deployments.
