Nokia N900 welcomes the Google Chrome web browser

11 April, 2010
After the Fennec, the mobile version of Mozilla's Firefox web browser, Nokia N900 users can now enjoy the Google Chrome running on their Maemo-based smartphones. It is still a pretty early version...

From what you said I doubt if you even know what multitouch is.Nokia's upcoming os symbian^3 will be the one to introduce multitouch to their ugly phones before that nokia had no multitouch and before apple nokia had no good touch screen phone they just had one weird looking phone the 7710 with its weird,ugly interface.

                There's at least 70 features missing if you compare iphone with any smartphone... http://tiny.cc/iPhone3GS_review

                The 3G is mocked plenty by gizmondo and they seem mostly neutral:
                http://gizmodo.com/5014918/iphone-3g-fcc-application-hints-at-potential-apple-smartphone

                As for N900 nokia doesn't want to sell it to any average joe. That's why it's noly available in a few countries.

                It'a called a niche market: http://goo.gl/eNT4

                Why would they bother, they sold 100milion ore devices than apple anyway :))

                  It's not about sales, i'm just countering the "iphone is not a smartphone" argument. To that one web page made by a hater, there are MILLIONS that state otherwise.

                  Iphone is a Smartphone.

                      Your iphone new/ outdated OS still don't have full multi - tasking.
                      And all of the technology that your have like:
                      Gsm, edge, wifi, wlan, 3g, 4g, & the all new LITE network is all nokia.
                      Without these technology you ijunk/iphone would not be able to function.

                        This is a HTML5 video and it still uses flash. HTML5 will depend less on flash but it will still depend.

                        Does that video play in your iPhone browser or in some lame app?
                        Because it plays smoothly in the N900's browser :D

                        So you say: "The iPhone was almost certainly 2009's top-selling smartphone after racking up world shipments of 24.89m units."

                        Jeez that's low! Nokia sold FIVE times as much! 126million units!

                          I hope Nokia decide to give more support to Maemo like Apple do with their OS, otherwise the N900 could become another N93. Promised support then nothing.

                                    Nokia you must realise more with Maemo OS than Symbian.
                                    Also video standart must be at least 30pfs.

If your brain can't cope with the prospect of reading all 7 pages start reading on page 6.

                                        Who needs flash support? Me, because if you haven't noticed Flash is everywhere now and what I want the browser on my N900 to display is the same thing or something as close as possible to the same thing I see when using the desktop versions of Opera, Firefox or Google Chrome. Wihout the need to ever zoom in. Can your Safari do that?
