Great and glad to hear that Google Chrome is now available on Android. Now there is a reason for people like me to throw away all the old model handheld devices.

Hmm... the following was written in Bold letters on the market page.
"This app is incompatible with your AirTel LGE LG-P500." :|
Also it's 16MB! :shock:

Meh... I am happy with Opera!

Also, ico may ban me for using Chrome on mobile! :oops:

Awesomeness...Chrome on PC and Phone #WIN
Already using it and considering its beta..i can say that they have done a gr8 job..supports Indic too.

Used IE for long time..then moved to FF for few years. Never liked it. Looks ugly + eats more memory. Then moved to Chrome and never turned back to FF except for web development. (even Chrome in-built web developer tools are excellent) :)

dunno actually. Always seems slow and consuming too much memory on my PC. Plus, I use Arch Linux so - 19 MB update every week or so is a waste as far as I am concerned.

I agree on the Opera part. It's the better web browser.
