Google Fuchsia could replace Android

[sesevans]

According to Bloomberg today, a group of Google engineers have been tasked to replace Android with Fuchsia. Fuchsia is being designed to better handle voice inputs and security updates and Google wants it to have a uniform look across all devices. Perhaps Google sees this in part as a response to the EU fine on Android?

Thanks, Google bot.

Years away anyway from a quick search, hardly worth speculating at this point.

Timeline:

"According to one of the people, engineers have said they want to embed Fuchsia on connected home devices, such as voice-controlled speakers, within three years, then move on to larger machines such as laptops. Ultimately the team aspires to swap in their system for Android […] The aim is for this to happen in the next half decade, one person said."

Sees title, thinks this could be interesting.

Sees poster and thinks, ah no, it won't.

Google can't even get a uniform look on its bloomin apps, let alone it's OS or devices. Good luck with that one.
