I am eternally happy now.
just stumbled across this link in an attempt to find some themes for the new fully featured browser from Google dubbed "Google Chrome" (Linkies here http://www.freechromethemes.com/DownloadGoogleChromeForiPhone.php)
but you might ask how i know this is real? Well, im not all that sure but the domain appears to be registered to Google according to WinMatrix user Lord Devrexster. Hopefully this dude isnt full of it but if he isn't, the like i said, i have reached eternal happieness what do you guys think about this? Obviously you'll have to jailbreak because there is NO way that Apple will let you run an alternative browser (which also means having to neuter the killswitch which isnt half that bad now that BossPrefs has the neuter tool (command line free)) but im eager to know whether it will be widely accepted over Apples mixedly reviewed Mobile Safari.
Also, who out there IS using Chrome? I know I am, with the full support for Google Gears (my new favourite Google API right after google Android (Cell phone OS for those of you behind the times)) its got to be good. Also, one thing ive noticed is that it seems to be about 3 times faster than Firefox ever was, with a smaller memory footprint than any other browser (except for the IE 8 Beta but it ups the explorer memory footprint because it runs through native explorer) another amazing feature from Chrome is the isolation of each tab into an individual process. This means that if one tab crashes, the whole browser stays in tact and just that tab dies. Its fairly nice. Its also very stable. No stalls or anything yet (well, ok i stalled a little on facebook but just once when i was logging in)
Google Chrome runs off of the open source project WebKit, which is the same thing Safari and Maxthon are based on.

Apple is a idiot about this stuff, they will care or else they would have accepted snapture into the app store they dont want you maxing out the hardware which no doubt, the google developers will go for. Maxing out the modem in the iphone may or maynot be a good idea
