Well I guess there’s been a lot of talk about Chrome over the last couple of days and using it today I have to say I’m mighty impressed with load speeds, fast as promised!
What I’ve been even more impressed with recently is Google Android, the new Google OS for mobile phones. I believe it will be the first mobile OS to rival the Apple’s mobile version of OSX 10, which harnesses Apples “Core animation” using MBX 3D hardware; this stuff was the tipping point for me to go out and buy a handset.
Google seem deadly serious about tipping the mobile market on its head (once again) as the SDK for Android has been made available for developers to start putting together applications. In addition to this a fund of $10,000,000 has been set aside to reward developers who develop the best applications.
Chrome will no doubt be a part of the Android package and I look forward to seeing what type of handset houses Android…we hope it matches the practicality and the aesthetics of the iPhone.
Above everything else Chrome and Android are further indicators of the direction Google is taking to become a credible technology company and not just an internet property/media owner with frills. With free high end web applications, a blazingly fast browser and a cutting edge Mobile OS, I think we’re close to seeing Google provide a fully extended OS for webbook style devices in the not too distant future.
