Leave it to Google to take on industry incumbents with the goal of completely redefining the user experience. Google’s latest project, Chrome, is a web browser based on Apple’s open-source rendering engine Webkit. As a new web browser designed from the ground up to put the user experience in line with advanced features, Google’s Chrome is set to light up the web browser-stage.
But, let’s not forget Google’s other major project, the Android mobile OS. It stands to reason that Google would inject their Google Chrome genes in to the Android platform in the form of a Chrome-based mobile web browser. 
According to Sergey Brin, “Probably a subsequent version of Android is going to pick up a lot of the Chrome stack… My guess is we’ll have ‘Chrome-like’ or something similar.”
The eventual integration of Google Chrome into Google Android could set the stage for truly portable, cross-platform applications. Applications developed using Google’s App Engine could be ported to both the desktop and mobile versions of Google Chrome out-of-the-box. Rather than spend time and money to port software to the mobile side of life, developers will likely be able to code once and see their applications running smoothly on the both desktop and mobile fronts. Now that’s cool.
