Chrome comes to iPhone, iPad

A long-awaited alternative to Safari is now available.

Google has announced Chrome for iOS. iPhone and iPad will both be supported, with each platform picking up what looks like an almost exact clone of Chrome for Android.

With Google's extensive sync features, Chrome on iOS extends the reach of Google's seamless cross-device browser experience, where history, tabs, passwords, and settings are made instantly and automatically available wherever you log in. What we don't know is if Chrome on iOS is still using the system-provided WebKit and JavaScript engine, or is using Google's own fork of WebKit and its V8 JavaScript engine.

The browser should become available on the App Store some time later today. Look for our review soon.
