I knew they would gimp the iOS apps. Googles iOS apps are always gimped compared to androids. You can't make chrome the default. It's running on a slower kit. You can't edit google docs.
And people are expecting a full blown Google Maps app for iOS? Keep dreaming.

I've actually now done two things this week that I never did before. That is move the native Mail app and Safari off the Dock of iOS and replace them with Gmail and Chrome. Whoa!
For me it's been to replace the mail app with Sparrow and now Safari with Chrome.
Me too. I guess the links will go to the US store, but odd that the App Store even lets you get as far as clicking Install if it's the wrong country.
I like how tabs are handled and the fact we are not limited to 8 tabs like in Safari. I am up to 23 and it is still going!
Still available to download in the US:

I have a hard one believing they pulled it. Unless there is something wrong with it they didn't catch. But it's on my iPhone now. (using it to type this).
Checking to see if it downloaded to iTunes on the iMac at home automatically. If so, I'll sync to the iPad so it's there when I get home.
Edit: yup. Was in iTunes. Synced to iPad for when I get home.

You don't even need that. Right now, I have this site, my gmail, Ars Technica, and Rock Paper Shotgun open in Chrome on my desktop. When you create a new tab, go to the "other devices" menu at the bottom, and boom! There they are, all my desktop browser tabs, available to choose from in one spot.
It's not as immediate as pushing a link, but it still works great.
I am in the UK, hopefully its coming across the pond soon
Its when I click on that button that I get the error message
Of course you have to login for that to work right? I really hate logging in to anything Google.
App keeps telling me my password is incorrect and that my "account sign-in details are out of date."
not sure whats wrong. i know i'm typing in correctly, going as slow as possible.
anyone else having the problem?

Pretty great! Only complaint I have is when on Forum Spy, when I click on a thread, it takes me to a new tab and the address bar says "about:blank". I have to hold down on the thread in Forum Spy and then choose "Open in new tab." Anyone else having this problem?
Yeah, you do. If you don't want to log in, you'll have to use the extension.
Also, I just tried it out on my iPhone. It displays the open tabs on both the iPad and my computer, which is pretty damn neat.
Sorry pal but the stats are against you. Although probably before Chrome stops being in beta for android that might be true for a while.
