No, they don't appear to have one for iOS just yet.

Yeah, all iOS browsers are forced to be based on Safari.

You'll never see a real Chrome app on iOS.

Apparently Chrome for Android is a real game changer, and puts Safari and standard Android browser to shame. Hopefully next month when I get a new phone (Galaxy Nexus, maybe?) I can see what all this hype is all about. The discussions on Google+ by Larry page seemed interesting enough.

I'm using it simply because it syncs all my chrome stuff from my google account. Only issue I've noticed at the moment is it seems a bit slow at rendering if you scroll down a complex page quite fast compared to the stock browser. But seeing as it is just a beta at the moment I'm sure they'll beplentyof performanceenhancementsbefore the final release.

Wait for MWC, probably a wider choice of ICS after that :)

Wouldn't really be beneficial to Google I don't think. If they have it only on their own OS it gives them another selling point

Does seem quality so far, the syncing from one device to another is superb. The tab system (not sure if you get it on phones, but for tablets..) is really useful, but I do actually prefer the tabs on the standard browser as they seem more finger friendly (clunky, basically.)

I hope its true about next Thursday, the Samsung S2 getting android 4 as this will be great for me.

As a very big fan of both Android and iOS I've always favoured the performance of the Safari browser on iOS over the performance of any browsers I've tried on Android.

There are plenty of tests that proves each have strengths and weaknesses over each other.

Probably are and that's all cool, in terms of personal experience I've personally found I can rely on Safari to be more consistant, although the stock browser on my TouchPad is pretty decent and we will see where Chrome goes.

More ways for Google to find out how I use the web? No thanks.

Although they are both based on webkit so maybe Google will find a way to slip it by.

Afaik, all iOS browsers have to use the Safari interface hooks and whatever else, I don't see it happening :P

Reason 3534636346436346346346346345345345345 to hate Apple's app store.

Coincidently I'm currently in a very odd point on my counting where it looks made up due to the overuse of 3,4,5 and 6 but it is just by chance - just caught me at a bad time.

In seriousness I'm surprised that Apple hasn't been hit by the EU with a massive anti-trust investigation over the app store.
