Google is looking to offer a native Terminal app for Android, possibly with Android 16. The Terminal app will allow installation of a Linux VM with full GUI and GPU acceleration along with other sysadmin features including disk resizing, port forwarding, and partition recovery. This is an extension of Google's earlier project of allowing Chrome OS to run on Android using the Android Virtualization Framework.

    Is Google fighting itself? Seems like the Android dev team is almost literally indirectly addressing the issues that the Chromium and App Store dev teams just created.

      My understanding is the Android team is run almost like an entirely separate company from the rest of Google.
