So the only real compelling reason to buy the Google tablet is being released on iOS. We knew it was coming, but I expected it to be staggered by six months or something at least. As a desktop Google Chrome user I am happy, but it is sure a puzzling move by Google. sidenote: is the name of the browser 'Google Chrome', or 'Chrome'? Both are trademarked by Google.

As the other shave pointed out, it's just the Google Chrome UI wrapped around the iOS browser. I would hardy call that "the only real compelling reason to buy the Google tablet".

It's really quite interesting why Google would bother bringing this Mobile Safari theme to iOS. Are they that afraid of being kicked off as the default search engine, after losing the position as the default maps provider? So much so, that they risk diluting the Chrome brand like this?

  I think it has to do with helping to keep iOS users, who are numerous and often technical, inside the google service infrastructure by providing chrome syncing to their iPhone/iPad.
