That&#8217;s also assuming that this does become a Chrome feature, but it&#8217;s very likely that it will. <\/p>\n<p>Google Now in Chrome would be a major step toward the convergence of Chrome and Android into one operating system &#8211; a path that Google co-founder <a href=\"http:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/blog\/btl\/sergey-brin-google-android-chrome-os-likely-to-converge\/27721\">Sergey Brin has implied in the past would likely happen<\/a> eventually. For now, it seems both brands will live on for the foreseeable future, but the more Google is able to bring features from one to the other, the less reason Google may have, in time, to continue operating them separately. <\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve already seen Chrome rapidly evolve into a much more advanced browser than it started as, and even into its own operating system. Chrome recently got <a href=\"http:\/\/www.webpronews.com\/google-launches-chrome-25-beta-with-speech-recognition-2013-01\">speech recognition capabilities<\/a>, and has <a href=\"http:\/\/www.webpronews.com\/chrome-update-saves-windows-users-battery-life-privacy-2012-11\">gotten better at preserving battery life<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>In what could be another hint of things to come, Google&#8217;s HQ has a new statue of a Chrome Android: <\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/cdn.ientry.com\/sites\/webpronews\/pictures\/a-chrome-android.jpg\" alt=\"Chrome Android\" \/><\/center><\/p>\n<p>This may not be a hint at all, but rather a representation of two important Google products in one homage. However, considering those comments made by Brin in the past, and pending Google Now features in Chrome, it doesn&#8217;t seem like too much of a stretch. <\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s important to remember that Google is essentially on a quest to unify its products into one larger Google product. This is has been happening little by little, especially since the launch of Google+ &#8211; the social and identity layer that ties them all together. &#8220;Google+ is Google,&#8221; as the company likes to say. Well, perhaps Chrome is Google, and Android is Google too. <\/p>\n<p>As far as Google Now itself goes, Google has been steadily adding more functionalities to that, and they&#8217;re only getting started. Adding Google Now to the desktop via Chrome should only serve to incubate new use cases and user demand for more (or perhaps for less for some of the more privacy-concerned users). <\/p>\n<p><em>Chrome Android mage via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.droid-life.com\/2013\/01\/30\/chrome-android-statue-arrives-at-google-campus-not-sure-it-means-anything\/\">DroidLife (who credits Paul Wilcox)<\/a><br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=xBdFZCD2AM4:twxXRgiLy3o:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=xBdFZCD2AM4:twxXRgiLy3o:wF9xT3WuBAs\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?i=xBdFZCD2AM4:twxXRgiLy3o:wF9xT3WuBAs\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=xBdFZCD2AM4:twxXRgiLy3o:7Q72WNTAKBA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?d=7Q72WNTAKBA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=xBdFZCD2AM4:twxXRgiLy3o:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?i=xBdFZCD2AM4:twxXRgiLy3o:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=xBdFZCD2AM4:twxXRgiLy3o:qj6IDK7rITs\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?d=qj6IDK7rITs\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=xBdFZCD2AM4:twxXRgiLy3o:mfZ73u_VV2s\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?i=xBdFZCD2AM4:twxXRgiLy3o:mfZ73u_VV2s\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/webpronews\/all\/~4\/xBdFZCD2AM4\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It looks like we&#8217;re getting closer to having Google Now functionality in Chrome.
