Google co-founder Sergey Brin revealed that the two operating systems from the company, Chrome and Android, were "likely to converge over time," without offering any specific date for our reference. This is interesting news, and it would certainly bode well for developers as they won't need to make too many modifications to the coding when releasing an application for both mobile devices and computers, but does this mean the merged OS on a PC will be rather gimped since it will need to cater to the lowest common denominator, which would be a smartphone? After all, smartphones are still far behind in processing power even when compared against netbooks.
