Google announces Chrome for iPhone and iPad
Share:
It appears that Google does indeed want to bring Chrome to your iOS devices, and they demonstrated what they expect will be their killer feature – the ability to sync across devices. They demonstrated both iPhones and iPad accessing the pages open on other devices, and even signing in to The New York Times on an iPad, despite it being the first time the demo had been run on that unit (because your sign in credentials are also synced).
The app should be available in the Apple App Store later today. So we ask you iPhone and iPad users – are you excited about Chrome coming to you, or are you happy with Mobile Safari?

I will need to experience it before I can give my opinion but I do use it on my laptop.

So, let me get this straight - Chrome will be available for iOS, but not for the majority of Android users (Chrome is still ICS-only. Gingerbread users need not apply). Doesn't that seem a bit strange?

Not really.... Google already has our money.... and with Apple moving away from Google Maps this can inject another revenue stream from ads.

Not like it'll make a huge difference, they still can't set it as a default browser. Have fun copying and pasting urls

Google gradually moving away from flash... Making chrome the default browser for nexus 7 means no more flash support..... My blackberry playbook is still the best out there and got the best mobile browser on any tablet so far besting even the so called new ipad in html5 test...

and does 'Safari' come with flash? no
So if anyone owns an Ipad and would want to use a browser say chrome they would be switching from a Non-Flash browser to a Non-Flash Browser, will that make any difference? Again, NO
So atleast think something before making a comment

This is great news for iOS users but it's still pretty disappointing that Google is taking care of it's Gingerbread users especially when a large percentage of Android users are still on Gingerbread. This will hopefully be way faster than Safari!

Safari is very good browser for iPad, but it's inferior than Google Chrome when it comes to functionality..

It will be great, if only it won't crash every 10 min like Safari does

Did someone just go though and give a "Thumbs Down" to everyone? Was it an upset fandroid doesnt want izombies get to use his beautiful chrome or a mad isheep who doesn’t want an alternative google made browser on his idevice?

You're right, I noticed and went on ahead and gave everyone a thumbs up.

im surprised apple is allowing the browser in their app store because it directly competes with iOS features. I'm a android user but I do have a iPad3 for doing limited tasks like web surfing and netflix. Chrome is my default browser on my nexus so it will be interesting if you can sync credentials and other info between the two platforms.

I'm not explore more about the other features but the benchmark result of chrome ios was lower than safari ios. if you test with html5test, the chrome still using ios webkit, not a native browser.
