With the sale of Motorola, the intro of Chrome Apps for Mobile, the stepping down of Andy Rubin - is Google losing interest in Android? When will we see ChromeOS for Mobile?



Did Andy step down or finally have an opportunity to peruse his dream?

> For Rubin, manufacturing is a return to the past. According to a 2007 profile, Rubin began as a robot engineer at lens manufacturer Carl Zeiss and had a brief stint at Apple as a manufacturing engineer before devoting his working hours to developing computers instead. However, robotics remained a hobby, with Rubin both building his own and amassing a collection of robots from Japan.


Could very well be! And why not follow your dreams when you're rich? Fact still remains that Android is now under ChromeOS chief Sundar Pichai.
