Chrome Will Make Its Way To Later Version Of Android, Says Google’s Sergey Brin

imageGoogle (NSDQ: GOOG) co-founder Sergey Brin told CNET that he expects the company’s new Chrome browser to end up on the Android platform in a later version of the yet-to-be-released mobile phone operating system. Brin said Android and Chrome were developed separately but that a “subsequent version of Android is going to pick up a lot of the Chrome stack.” Like Chrome, Android’s existing browser uses WebKit, an open-source project for HTML code. Of course, it was assumed that Google would add it to its own mobile operating system, but will any other phones adopt it? Or will consumers be compelled to download it to their phone when there are so many other mobile browser options out there already, such as Microsoft’s (NSDQ: MSFT) IE, Opera and the emerging Skyfire?
