[QUOTE]In 2008, we launched Google Chrome to help make the web better. We’re excited that millions of people around the world use Chrome as their primary browser and we want to keep improving that experience. Today, we're introducing Chrome for Android Beta, which brings many of the things you’ve come to love about Chrome to your Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich phone or tablet. Like the desktop version, Chrome for Android Beta is focused on speed and simplicity, but it also features seamless sign-in and sync so you can take your personalized web browsing experience with you wherever you go, across devices.[/QUOTE]

Speed
With Chrome for Android, you can search, navigate and browse fast—Chrome fast. You can scroll through web pages as quickly as you can flick your finger. When searching, your top search results are loaded in the background as you type so pages appear instantly. And of course, both search and navigation can all be done quickly from the Chrome omnibox.
Simplicity
Chrome for Android is designed from the ground up for mobile devices. We reimagined tabs so they fit just as naturally on a small-screen phone as they do on a larger screen tablet. You can flip or swipe between an unlimited number of tabs using intuitive gestures, as if you’re holding a deck of cards in the palm of your hands, each one a new window to the web.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE]One of the biggest pains of mobile browsing is selecting the correct link out of several on a small-screen device. Link Preview does away with hunting and pecking for links on a web page by automatically zooming in on links to make selecting the precise one easier.
And as with Chrome on desktop, we built Chrome for Android with privacy in mind from the beginning, including incognito mode for private browsing and fine-grained privacy options (tap menu icon, ‘Settings,’ and then ‘Privacy’).
Sign in
You can now bring your personalized Chrome experience with you to your Android phone or tablet. If you sign in to Chrome on your Android device, you can:
View open tabs: Access the tabs you left open on your computer (also signed into Chrome)—picking up exactly where you left off.
Get smarter suggestions: If you visit a site often on your computer, you'll also get an autocomplete suggestion for it on your mobile device, so you can spend less time typing.
Sync bookmarks: Conveniently access your favorite sites no matter where you are or which device you’re using.

[QUOTE]Chrome is now available in Beta from Android Market, in select countries and languages for phones and tablets with Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich. We’re eager to hear your feedback. Finally, we look forward to working closely with the developer community to create a better web on a platform that defines mobile.[/QUOTE]
Fapping right now!!

Probably not going to be as good as Opera mobile.

It's not compatible on my Android phone. [IMG]http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa113/flygirafda3/waht/saddowns.gif[/IMG]
This has taken a surprisingly long time, you would have thought that Google would have ported Chrome and made it the default browser on Android.
Although I don't know much about the browser on Android so for all I know it could be Chrome at the heart.

What did Android devices have before?
[QUOTE=5killer;34598308]What did Android devices have before?[/QUOTE]
I used Dolphin Browser because it's very similar to Chrome for me.
I'm sad about it requiring ICS, guess I'll have to wait till I update my Touchpad before I try it.
You're telling me the default browser wasn't chrome? Well at least with the new chrome, I won't have to wipe my history every time I go to xnxx to masturbate
[QUOTE=Binge le mag;34598316]I used Dolphin Browser because it's very similar to Chrome for me.[/QUOTE]
I used Dolphin until I found Boat, now that is all I use.
That's certainly a bummer for those who cannot get ICS on their phone.
Currently it does not support flash.
I hope they add (or already include) features from the modded stock browser like changing the user agent.

Woo just found out Asus is gonna send out a 4.0 ICS update for Asus Transformers Mid Feburary.
Damn it, I want my Transformer Ice Cream Sandwich update.
[QUOTE=Keegs;34598555]Woo just found out Asus is gonna send out a 4.0 ICS update for Asus Transformers Mid Feburary.[/QUOTE]
Wow, great timing.
And damn! Last I heard we were supposed to get it early February. Oh well, a little while longer won't hurt.

That's what I don't like about Android. There are multiple versions of it active at a single time. When 4.0 was released it should have been an update available for every phone.
Good thing I have the Galaxy Nexus.
Does anybody care about the lack of Flash? When I had my Android phone, the novelty of having Flash wore off after a while
Damn, I don't have ICS yet. So unfair. :(
Hopefully CM9 is able to support the Nexus One.

Unfortunately thats bad for business. Take my HTC desire for example, it can apparently run ICS with only a few minor issues (which are being fixed). If HTC released that update I would have no need to upgrade my phone and buy yet another one from them.
By not releasing software updates they sort of secure return customers, combined with 18 month or so contracts they get lots of business.

Older phones would have a hard time running the software. It's a nice thought, but that kind of mass Android updating just won't happen yet.

My school's webpage can't be navigated unless you have flash. The worst part is, the only things they use it for are for drop down menus.

HTC forgot they made my phone :v: My poor G2
[QUOTE=Binge le mag;34598689]HTC forgot they made my phone :v: My poor G2[/QUOTE]
They did the same with my phone, 2.3 was "coming soon" about a year ago and a half ago, then it changed to "coming in August!". Then they decided actually they couldn't get it to work and had given up, 2 days later they decided they had it sort of working. Then they stopped mentioning it.
