Not that Chromebooks until this point were all that bad - it’s just that they were lacking in functionality. In particular, touchscreen Chromebooks like this Chromebook Flip will become more desirable. I used the stock calculator app for Android.Ī few implications of this technology immediately jump to mind: I checked out on the Mozilla Firefox, Puffin, and Brave mobile browsers.
And I played Clash Royale, with some clutch help from my colleague Dean Takahashi. My workaround is just to record and send voice messages.įacebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn all work as they should. Chat bubbles appear when you receive new messages - just as you would expect - although the Chrome OS task bar gets in the way of hitting the send button once you’ve typed in a message. I downloaded the Messenger app on the Chromebook, and guess what? That works too, for chats and video calls.
This is important because until now there was no Skype for Chrome OS, and on the web, the Skype app only supports messages, not voice or video calls. I had a video call with VentureBeat editor in chief Blaise Zerega, and it worked perfectly.
