I think there is a lot of confusion regarding google's decision to come out with another linux based operating system. You can read some of the debate here on gizmodo. I myself think it may have been a pretty dumb idea to call your OS the same thing you call your web browser... but hey. I will reserve judgement, maybe that is exactly what they wanted to do.
Also, I will offer this guess: The difference between Android and Chrome will be, by and large, the graphics pipeline/subsystem. Android's largest difference from normal linux is its use of a custom framebuffer instead of the X11R6 we all know and love. I predict that in the long term you will see Chrome and Android move close together, but Chrome will maintain X11R6. That's my guess and its worth what you paid for it.
