Since yesterday, Andy Rubin has put aside his work as lead Android project to start a new stage in Google. While Rubin's new role at Google is not yet released, we know that will be replaced by Sundar Pichai, who is currently also responsible for Chrome OS and Android is now also in charge of Android.
In the Google blog, the company's CEO, Larry Page, said that when Rubin joined Google in 2004 had difficulties in developing new mobile software. 9 years later, Google has more than 60 manufacturing partners around the world and have already activated more than 750 million units of Android phones, and besides that have been downloaded more than 25,000 million applications from the store Play.
It was not stated what the reason for Android Rubin leave aside, although we will continue to work on other projects of the search engine company.
Now the manager of Chrome OS and Android will Pichai, surely begin to emerge rumors that both operating systems will look more like each other in future versions and may even coalesce at some point.
