Chrome coming for Android? Why not

Google’s new browser, Chrome, will make its way to Android, the company’s mobile phone operating system and software suite, as the co-founder Sergey Brin said recently. It’s a logical step and a common sence, I think. Moreover, Chrome and Android’s current browser both already employ WebKit, an open-source project for interpreting the HTML code that makes up a Web page and has ability to render it on a screen.


Despite the fact Chrome and Android were developed largely separately, Brin said in an interview at the Chrome launch event Tuesday. “We have not wanted to bind one’s hands to the other’s.” Chrome is said to be 10 to 15 times faster than Internet Explorer, Firefox and Safari.

And how about the brand name? “My guess is we’ll have ‘Chrome-like’ or something similar,” he said.

I believe that the powerful browser would be one of important features of the smart-phone for the coming years.
