So at the moment Apple hold the 1st place in mobile OS marketshare, I feel the unfortunate thing that will happen as marketshare drops Google will slowly move to supporting projects other than android, and eventually drop support entirely and focus on making better iOS apps, Device makers will start making their own operating systems with tighter locked down appstores in order compete with iOS, we already see this with Amazon planning to switch to a linux based OS in future fire devices.

    What connection do Chromebooks have to Android? I thought ChromiumOS was based on Gentoo Linux.

      A bit of the selling point for the chromebooks is that it can run a lot of stuff from the playstore. Why called it a cousin.
