I was thinking almost exactly the same thing. Now between chrome OS, gwt, and android they essentially have three incompatible application development platforms. That isn't strictly true considering gwt apps will certainly run on chrome OS but if people use the native code plugins for faster apps then I definitely don't think the compatibility will last. Google could have consolidated at least the sdk's for these three platforms with app engine and then you'd really have something but instead I really don't get this fragmentation of effort, mindshare, userbase.
