Last month Chrome became a touch-screen-enabled software like Android, and Mr. Pichai said at the time that manufacturers could use Chrome to power tablets.
The Wall Street Journal previously reported that Microsoft also is planning price breaks for its Windows and Office software as part of a strategy to spur lower-cost touch-screen devices enabled by its Windows software.
Now obviously a little of this is going to be required on any touchscreen, but the Bobby software doesn't even try to leverage any gestures or motion controls.
