Speculation on whether or not Google was going to create a mobile version of their popular web browser, Chrome, came to an end today.
Google just announced Chrome for Android Beta. As of right now, Chrome for Android is only available for devices running Android 4.0+ (aka Ice Cream Sandwich), which to-date, really only includes the Galaxy Nexus (unless you are rooted and running a ROM featuring ICS).
Chrome for Android includes the following features:
If you have an Android device running Android 4.0+, be sure to check out the app using the market link here. I've also included a QR code after the break to scan and download the browser directly.
- Browse fast with accelerated page loading, scrolling, and zooming
- Search and navigate directly from the omnibox
- Open and switch between unlimited tabs in an easy-to-view stack
- Sign in to Chrome to sync your bookmarks and view tabs you have open on your computer
- Send pages from desktop Chrome to your smartphone or tablet with one click and read them on the go, even if you’re offline
- Browse privately in Incognito mode
