Google's Chrome browser comes to Apple's iPhone


Chrome has become top free apps download in iTunes since it comes to Apple’s iPhone on Thurday. As we know, Chrome is one of the most popular brower in the world, and Android mobile operating system already uses Chrome as its primary builit-in brower in latest version. Chrome allows users to sync tabs, bookmarks and other settings across multiple devices. Once  a user signs in to the browser on any computer or phone, they can view their opened tabs and browsing history. What a cool feature.

Web browsers are the entering gateway for people to access internet. Just as gates of highway, the winner of web browsers would be able to control or to influence  the internet access, which has huge impact on competition. Interestingly, not sure why Apple approve it, since Steve Jobs said “go thermonuclear war" on the company he felt ripped off the iPhone. in the past, browser in particular had a difficult time making their way into the iTuens App store. Perhaps Apple is very confident about its safari now.
