Earlier today, Google tipped its hand at a new app it's working on called Work Chrome. It appears to be part of the Android Work program, which is promoted as an enterprise solution for companies wanting to use Android for business purposes. The app or apps could appear on personal devices with company profile log-ins or with business provided Android devices.

Just as mysteriously as the app's arrival to the Play Store, Work Chrome was pulled by Google shortly after.

As you can see in the image above, captured by Liam Spradlin of Android Police, Work Chrome has a small indicator on the lower-right of the icon. This badge is probably what will be used to distinguish Android Work apps from their personal counterparts.

Companies like Spectralink, who provide communication solutions for healthcare settings, already create Android devices for the work environment. So perhaps we may see more of these type devices which will begin utilizing Android Work in the future. Additionally, with bring-your-own Android smartphones or business provided ones, companies will be able to keep personal data and business data separate by using Android Work and its series of applications.
