I would imagine there will be many issues to be worked out to satisfy some. I remember when the Gmail app was released, they had to pull it the same day because of so many issues. So far Chrome has been working great for what I want it for.

Works ok for me on my ipad. As expected the Android version blows it away,but that has to do with the OS (or more accurately, how iOS is more locked down, so Google can't give the full functionality).

I just really wanted my bookmarks to sync between devices, something I had to previously use the paid version of XMarks for, which also forced me to use Safari (ewwww...gross). And of course it didn't sync my open tabs across devices and stuff like Chrome does. Granted XMarks was only $12 a year, but still...12 bucks is 12 bucks that I don't have to pay anymore.

Too bad Apple's restrictions are crippling Chrome. Well, 'crippling' is too strong a term, but it's not as good as it could be, and not nearly as good as it is on Android. Oh well...

I love Chrome when I'm at the desk. It's probably the best browser around at the moment IMO.

That said I don't really feel the need to use it on my iPad. There's nothing it'll do for me that the Safari browser won't. Maybe bookmark syncing or something I guess but that's not much of a deal for me.
