So the only chrome device that will run android apps will be the pixel? Doubt it.
I don't think the two are connected. If Chrome gets an android emulator, you can't ask the public to pay $1200 for the "right". Besides, what android app is aching to be run on a laptop? Internaut is right, phone/tablet apps pale compared to their laptop brethren....its all about compromise for the smaller screen, lack of keyboard, etc.
