Has anybody else installed this yet? Nice, clean browser. Seems faster than Safari and has voice searching. Time to do some tests!

Oh, I didn't realize it was out yet.

I'll give it a try now.

How do you import bookmarks from Safari?

I have been using since it was released. I prefer this way more than Safari. The one thing I don't like is the delay when clicking the number to open up your tabs.

Chrome for iOS isn't truely Chrome. It's just a wrapper / skin for the same WebKit browsing engine that Safari uses. Apple doesn't allow any other browser engine to be used, so the best Google could do is build a new UI for it.

That being said, if you use Chrome on your PC, being able to sync bookmarks onto your iOS device makes it more useful than Safari.
