Google has announced that finally the Google Play Store is coming to Chromebooks.
The update will start rolling out in the developer channel with M53 on the ASUS Chromebook Flip, the Acer Chromebook R 11 and the latest Chromebook Pixel. It will later come with other Chromebooks.
Chromebooks bringing support for Google Play Store will bring many more apps to the end user. Currently Chrome OS doesn’t have much apps as compared against Windows or Apple’s App Store.
” The same apps that run on phones and tablets can now run on Chromebooks without compromising their speed, simplicity or security. This is good for users and great for developers — in addition to phones and tablets, they will be able to easily bring their apps to laptops. And all this is built on top of Chrome OS, so users will continue to have everything they love in their Chromebooks. ”
