CookPad With the holiday season just around the corner, Google has announced that seven new Android apps are coming to ChromeOS. Available in the Chrome Web Store under “Available for Android,” three of the new apps include Cookpad, CouchSurfing and OverDrive. There are four more but we're still trying to discern what those are.

Cookpad, as folks will guess, is a recipe app for new and seasonal recipes. Couchsurfing is an app that allows you to find fellow travel enthusiasts (over nine million in 120,000 cities) that you can stay with across the globe. OverDrive allows you to borrow eBooks from your local library in the convenience of your own home. These, and the four other apps they're adding are available now, with more apps pledged to be added. Of course, if you want to speed up the process for your favorite Android app you can always nominate it here.

That said, what apps are you hoping to see make the leap to ChromeOS?
