I think the Pixel C was rumored to be a Chromebook that got Android instead last minute, and then the Pixel Slate did run Android, and now there are all the rumors about ChromeOS being rebased atop Android…
And those aren't rumors, there is a pretty big effort to get Android ready for ChromeOS and get feature parity. Which to me is really unfortunate, CrOS has such a nice linux base.
Plus, it gives Android developers a widescreen demographic to target, which might finally give them a nudge to make their UIs adapt to things that aren't portrait candybars.
