Google I/O 2012: Google Chrome now available for iOS devices

Google ChromeGoogle yesterday announced that Google for Android was shedding its beta label just in time to make it onto the Google Nexus 7 tablet. Today, Google announced Google Chrome for iOS for Apple’s iPhone and iPad.

That means you can enjoy the same speedy and simple Chrome experience across your devices. Also, by signing in to Chrome, you can easily move from your desktop, laptop, smartphone and tablet and have all of your stuff with you.

Chrome for iOS is not quite the same as the other versions. Because Apple does not allow third-party engines such as Chrome’s own rendering or JavaScript engines, Google wrapped Chrome around the WebKit engine.

Google Chrome for iOS will work with iOS iOS 4.3 and higher. It will be available later today so keep your eyes open.

Google also announced that Chrome now has 310 million active users, up from 160 million at last year’s I/O.
