Google Launches Chrome for iPhone

In a somewhat surprising move, search giant Google announced on Thursday that it is making its Chrome Web browser available for users of Apple's iPhone, as well as its productivity app dubbed Google Drive. The move was a little surprising given the contentious relationship between the two companies in recent years since former Apple CEO Steve Jobs accused Google of stealing the iPhone. While Apple has developed a reputation for making it difficult for developers to get their apps approved for sale in the iTunes App Store, it has been especially hard on browsers, having only approved a handful of apps prior to Chrome.

By some calculations, particularly estimates from Google itself, Chrome has grown to be the world's most popular browser, in terms of users, with more than 310 million. With the recent surge in mobile Web browsing on devices like smartphones and tablets, a growing number of Chrome users are mobile users, a trend that will likely increase with Chrome's emergence on the iPhone and iPad. In addition, Google also made Chrome the default browser in the latest version of its Android mobile operating system, just as Microsoft has done for years with Explorer.
