"A version of Google's Chrome browser has finally come to iOS devices. The company made its announcement on Thursday as part of its annual Google I/O conference in San Francisco, with Chrome becoming available on the App Store for iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch users just hours after the announcement.

While only 18% of all iPhone apps downloaded are paid, the current annual sales of $340+ million cannot be ovelooked. Moreover, Yankee Group's estimate of that number rising to $1B in just two years speaks volumes about the ways our world is changing. The presence of smart phones will grow four fold in as many years to numbers that will have everyone connected wirelessly with each other and to every content source around the world in real time.

This looks like a valuable feature on the new iPhone OS 3.0. Getting ready to check it out. Has anyone tried it?

One of the most anticipated features of the new iPhone OS 3.0 is the ability to find lost devices using Apple's MobileMe web service, which requires an annual fee.
