It was never expected that Chrome OS 1.0 would run Android. The inclusion of a 3G radio with free data from Verizon does indicate however that Google will be pushing free software updates out to Chrome OS constantly. And, as Android becomes x86-friendly over next year, I have no doubt that Google could easily add Android app compatibility to Chrome OS. Remember, all Dalvik is, is just a fancy Java runtime. Do you really think Google couldn't add Java to Chrome OS if they wanted to? Adding Android just requires a more integrated, and somewhat more tailored JVM.
