Google Chrome For Android Is Here – Download Now!!
This is the day we all have been waiting for. Before I even say the next sentence, here is the download link for you. Now, there is one small catch, hmm, let’s say a big catch. It works only on Ice Cream Sandwich now, and only on in few selected countries.

Sounds awesome and I can’t wait to test this. It works on smartphones and also on tablets. I can’t test this as of now, (until someone finds a crack and a way to sneak this in to gingerbread.) but wifey gifted me a galaxy note for our wedding anniversary and I will get Android 4.0 on that pretty soon!
Speed -Â

Are You A Developer?
Here is some highlights for you from the Chromium Blog post.
Chrome for Android brings support for many of the latest HTML5 features to the Android platform. With hardware-accelerated canvas, overflow scroll support, strong HTML5 video support, and new capabilities such as Indexed DB, WebWorkers and Web Sockets, Chrome for Android is a solid platform for developing web content on mobile devices.
In addition to support for the latest web technologies, we hope to make interactive web content super easy to develop. Chrome for Android introduces remote debugging through Chrome Developer Tools to make it simple for developers to debug web sites running live on their mobile devices.
Much of the code for Chrome for Android is already shared with Chromium and over the coming weeks, the Chromium team will be upstreaming many new components developed for Chrome for Android to Chromium, WebKit and other projects.
Stay tuned for more info!!
