Chrome Beta for Android First Impressions [Video]
Now that Chrome Beta for Android has been available for a bit, I've taken some time to develop my first impressions of the application. It's obvious that the Chrome team is a separate division of Google that does its own thing, but we really like what they've done so far, especially with the tablet experience. It feels like a "real" web browser now. Enjoy the... Read more » Ice Cream Sandwich works its way to the HTC Droid Incredible 2
