Google I/O wasn't all about Android and wearables. The Mountain View company unveiled more information about Chrome OS, that other Google operating system, as well. The big news? Google is finally bringing Android apps to the Chromebook. Sundar Pichai, Google's Senior VP of Android, Chrome and apps, showed off the Vine Android app on a Chromebook Pixel on stage. It seems as if you can mirror the screen from the phone, with a phone-sized screen showing up on the Chromebook display. The apps can access local hardware so you can record a Vine from your Chromebook's camera if you wish. Additionally, when connected, a notification will pop up on your Chromebook letting you know if your phone battery is low plus incoming calls and text messages too. At last, it seems Google is working to bring Chrome and Android together in a unified experience.
