Chrome for the iPhone Petition
on September 4th, 2008
I’ve been a little frustrated with Google’s lack of foresight when they decided not to have a Mac version for Chrome; I mean honestly, isn’t it ironic that they make their big competitive move against Microsoft exclusively on a Microsoft operating system?!
Anyway, I digress; because what I really want to know now is when will we get Chrome for the iPhone!
Why the Chrome and the iPhone combo: think about it
- They’re both the hottest must-haves of the year
- The omnibox feature in Chrome ties in so well with iPhone’s auto-completion feature, makes you wonder what one could achieve by integrating the two.
- The iPhone could benefit from a quicker interface than Safari, and Opera STILL doesn’t have an iPhone version (although you can get the mini version I suppose)
- OPEN SOURCE people! It could be so much easier to build and test apps for the iPhone, to be accessed via the Chrome interface. No more jailbreaking or frustration!
- The speed dial – wouldn’t it be nice to have your fav websites nicely displayed on your Chrome home page rather than fiddling with 3-taps-away bookmarks? Or trying to type something like http://searchvoip.techtarget.com.au/articles/26701-Four-iPhone-Twitter-clients-tested. I’m finding it difficult, and I’m a girl – I can only imagine what it’s like to type long strings of text on the iPhone if you’re a bloke built on a large scale…
So, Chrome for the iPhone: do you want it?
If you want it, put your full name, country and email address in the form below and we’ll put together a petition to Google. And pass this on!
Googles on a high horse and probably thinks everyone will eventually conform to them…but it’s not gonna happen so they need to get with the program.

Apple probably wouldn’t let Chrome into their app store! I’m sure they prefer people to use Safari…

Yeah, it doesn’t seem to make sense, why they wouldn’t have support for the mac.
I havent used Chrome yet as I like to wait a while while companies figure out the bugs and security issues. As for not having it for mac I’m sure they will soon as mac is quickly becoming a large part of users both on and off line.

If they released for iphone it would be super as chrome is fastest browser it really helps us a lot …
Chrome – Beta version is coming soon i think there are updating the browser with integrated plugins
Wow, I just had an entry from Bill Gattes (that’s how it was spelled), with a microsoft.com email address. Gotta love the humour of the chap who decided to have fun with this one
Strongly agree, Google should focus its attention on making different versions of their products, as for Mac for example.
I haven´t figure out how to add more applications to the Google Chrome tool bar. Can you comment on that? Thanks
i think that google chrome have at now to many bugs…but its crap that chrome istn offered for mac although they have the same software basics
I think they will release the mac version very soon. The only thing to wait after that would be for iPhone and they have not decided to ignore iPhone!
So Google would surely work upon that, with or without the petition.
