As far as the OP goes, I go with the trend here and say that it would be ridiculous for Google to try to replace Android with Chrome OS for mobile devices; there will be too much resistance from carriers, app developers and users to make it possible. Google has already spent BILLIONS of dollars developing Android and entered into complicated agreements with OEM concerning the platform that Google does nto have that freedom to imposing Chrome OS on them.
Google will be Google.
it does as Google wants.
