The browser-bearing world was atwitter yesterday with the announcement of Google’s Chrome browser. Just about overnight, they’ve managed to convince hordes of people that Chrome is the way to browse on your PC. Next step? They’re taking it mobile.
According to an interview with Google co-founder Sergey Brin, the two projects will start working together more closely now that both are approached 1.0 releases, with the Android browser adopting much of Chrome’s inner workings. He also expects the mobile browser to pick up a new name to indicate the relation to it’s bigger, full-blown browsin’ brother.
With Mobile Safari and Skyfire already surfing the tubes, Firefox Mobile lookin’ down right awesome, and a Mobile Chrome in the works, it looks like the age of the horrible mobile browsing experience is coming to an end.

Awesome… the world of mobile and desktop are colliding and the result will be incredibly synergetic with a HUGE help from Android and Chrome.
Two great communities for both:

Mobile web browsing is going to be very big, very soon.
I can’t wait to see how JobMob.mobi renders on mobile chrome.
Now you can search job listings anytime…anywhere…at the beach, the airport, even a meeting gone bad.

Great speed - I can finally start enjoying all those video clips I had been avoiding up to now!
Chrome is just what the rest of the slow end of the internet has been waiting for. I live in Africa where the net is still not so fast, chrome allows you to surf fast enough on a very slow connection.

Chrome, Open Social and Android are parts of a long drawn Google strategy to dominate in all spheres (and make it seamless and fun for end users, so I’m not complaining at all). Google gameplan will not be complete without a mobile equivalent. And, of course, we can expect some more strategic initiatives from Google in the near future.
I’ve covered how Chrome is aimed at Windows in my post
