It seems that the good people over at Google are currently working to deliver Chrome packaged apps from the desktop all the way to the Android and iOS platforms. This would be made possible thanks to the development of a toolkit which will enable developers to work on Chrome apps for Android and iOS, in addition to porting current Chrome apps over to two of the hugely popular mobile platforms worldwide. Over at a GitHub repository that has been known as the Mobile Chrome Apps, the documentation within did show that Chrome Packaged App for Windows, OS X, Linux, and Chrome OS happen to be but the start, and there is a whole lot more to come in due time.

This toolkit will basically assist developers to work on Android and iOS hybrid native apps using Chrome app polyfills, all via Apache Cordova. Among the steps that are involved would include making modifications for mobile design purposes, the ability to fix bugs, work around some of the limitations, and testing, too – which happens to be an indispensable part of the journey. Google claims that when properly done, the apps will be able to be made available on Google Play and Apple’s App Store. What do you think of this particular move?

Google’s cloud-based Compute Engine service has just been launched after this virtual-machine service has completed its beta testing, which is definitely good news to those who are interested in the service. With its launch, it would result in lower prices and new features for the masses. In fact, the Compute Engine service will be part of the Google Cloud Platform, where it will go up against rivals such as Windows Azure and Amazon EC2. Part of this service will include the ability to access virtual machines which can then be scaled accordingly, depending on the application at that point in time.

Compute Engine has been specially designed in order to integrate with the other Cloud Platform products, where among them include storage and database services, App Engine web-app hosting, and App Services. Not only that, Google will also throw in a sweetener after announcing a drop in the price of Persistent Disk storage by a whopping 60% per gigabyte, while the I/O fees would also see a price drop along the way. In addition, this particular service would also receive an update that will see the introduction of more capabilities, where these will be made available for new or existing customers immediately so that developers have the luxury of running virtually all out-of-the-box Linux distributions and any kernels or software.
