Google Leak Reveals 'Continue On' Ahead of Sept. 15 Googlebook Debut

Summary
A leaked press render of HP’s Googlebook 14c showed Google’s new “Continue On” feature pinned on the desktop taskbar, offering the clearest look yet at the laptop’s software experience.
The feature appears to let users resume a phone session on the laptop with one click, using local Wi-Fi, Bluetooth Low Energy and Google Play Services to track active app states on a paired Android device.
That would go beyond ChromeOS-style recent-tab syncing and notification mirroring, targeting a long-standing gap in seamless Android-to-laptop continuity that Apple’s Handoff already addresses.
The leak arrives about 4 weeks before Google’s Sept. 15 Googlebook event in New York, where live demos could clarify the OS branding and how deeply the feature is integrated.
