Instead of the “one OS to rule them all” approach, Google is instead using a strategy that tries to seamlessly bridge the divide between Chrome OS and Android.
The latest step in that regard seems to be a project called “OneChrome” that will let the two platforms share pieces of data, including Wi-Fi passwords, clipboard, and even phone numbers.

One reason Google may not be so keen on merging the two platforms completely is that each is better than the other at doing one thing. Android, for example, is better at making calls while Chrome OS is better at productive work. That doesn’t mean, however, that they can’t benefit from each other.

The communication between devices is promised to be encrypted from end to end though it’s not clear whether they need to be sitting on the same network or if happens through Google’s cloud. At this point, there’s still a lot of missing pieces but it would definitely be an interesting development in Chrome OS land.
