I think these late changes are a reaction to Samsung's threats. Google's dependency on Sammy droid customers in Google-related income is huge, they have to ready everything plus the kitchen sink in case next year's Galaxy line-up switches to Tizen, cause it will sell just the same especially if they port every original Sammy function and make Android apps compatible. Tizen can be successful where it simplifies the interface using gesture and "Smart" controls and it will be compatible with every other Samsung devices coming out also running Tizen.

Unifying Chrome OS and Android is a major cornerstone in the battle, making Android more secure and Google-based high-end computers more versatile.

Wait wait wait. Maps and search together?! Advertising and commerce together?! That... That seems... That seems downright logical!
