Chrome Apps?

So opening chrome today I noticed a new section called Apps:

At first it kinda seems insignificant. Ok so what, I can play games and run apps that runs on android-based devices through my browser. So what right, we can play games and run apps from the web already but this looks to be some type of extension to chrome that is running android. I may be wrong on this one but this is what it looks like at first glance. To me this seems like a first step to something possibly much bigger for Google. Such a seemingly small update sneaked into the browser but I think it was planned all along when they developed Chrome and Android.

It kinda goes hand in hand with what I was talking in my last post. If they have an operating system running inside a browser. Suddenly that opens up a whole new world of possibilities. The browser becomes the operating system and it’s as light as a feather compared to what we’re used to with Windows and the like. Maybe it’s communicating with the Google servers which handles the processing requirements, freeing up your machine. This is all very interesting to me. I’m anxious to see what their next step will be. I predict a very cheap or free Google PC at some point in the future, it’ll just be built with chrome installed and that’ll be running your operating system and from there you can install your programs (apps) and basically do anything we do through traditional operating systems today.
