Google Chrome coming to Android?

Posted on Sunday, September 07 2008 @ 0:16 CEST by Thomas De Maesschalck
Earlier this week Google co-founder Sergey Brin suggested Google Chrome might be ported to the mobile Android platform:
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," Brin said. But you can expect that to change now that both projects are public and nearing their first final releases.

"Probably a subsequent version of Android is going to pick up a lot of the Chrome stack," Brin said, pointing to JavaScript improvements as one area.

And the brand name likely will follow. "My guess is we'll have 'Chrome-like' or something similar," he said.
