No, I'm not going to talk about Chrome . Enough has been spoken without almost no one has asked why Google gets a web browser is just as less necessary. I've always thought that something will not succeed until people like my sisters or my friends could be potential users. If they are not even Firefox (though it installed), do you are going to be Chrome?. Let's face it, Chrome is for techies and freaks. A Firefox has taken years and years and years to get where he is today.

Anyway, this is not the issue. The question is, why now?. Why is everyone talking about Chrome and seem to forget about Android ?. For almost a year since Google adds there trumpeted the Android platform and still have not seen any devices on it. Apple announced its iPhone six months before releasing to the market and all are critical and smokescreens, but Google does and it is as if the Almighty came down from heaven to make us see the light. Y not me who gets to defend Apple.

Google has struggled to develop Android. Despite having the support of key industry, technology has limitations that have been found to go to avoid, and a major in a 2.0 world has been, without doubt, the web browser on which to base its platform . Those who work with mobile browsers know well that bring the devices and their limitations, both processing and compatibility. Obviously, if Google's web browser to leave his new Android in the hands of a simple browser wap, his theory of mobilizing the Internet world would be no less than utopian. And that's not to mention the usefulness of the entire new generation of online applications (mostly based on Ajax).

In this scenario Google is clear that to succeed in mobile Internet, regardless of the platform on which the terminal is built, you must have a good web browser that runs on mobile devices, it is fast and, if possible, standard. At this time (last year) high-end terminals Nokia (N7x, N95 ...) and leave the factory with a new web browser based on Webkit (yes, Apple's iPhone), abandoning the old wap browsers and opening a new world of opportunities and applications. Alternatives to the search giant are two: Gecko (Mozilla Foundation and Firefox engine) and Webkit. The answer is clear, Webkit was designed from the outset as a lightweight and fast HTML engine.

Based on these circumstances the Google development team gets to work in the future will be Android's web browser. And at this point I say,

if I have already optimized the engine to my taste, I have developed an impressive javascript machine and everything works fine ... why not compile and release a desktop web browser?

I do not think that is unreasonable, but the important step is NOT the desktop, where you know you just get market share (the reality), its goal is mobile and, for that matter, if they get the same performance on the desktop, are on the right path.

By the way, I also hung up on me Chrome .
