The latest news from the Google Chrome team
A flock of apps storming the Chrome Web Store
Thursday, May 12, 2011
They are coming. They are angry. Protect your pigs.
Angry Birds
, the most popular game for mobile devices, has arrived in the
Chrome Web Store
. Built using the latest technologies, Angry Birds is as much fun on the web as on your phone. In addition, you can try beating the new web-only, Chrome-inspired levels.
While firing up that slingshot, you may also want to try out some of the other apps that were recently added to the store. To keep up with the world of finance, you can install the
Reuters
and
Fortune 500
apps.
ESPN Cricinfo
brings the latest cricket news straight to your new tab page. For the photo enthusiasts among you,
LiveShare
helps aggregate your friends’ photos from events you attended together.
In addition to the new apps added today, popular apps such as
Springpad
and
Graphicly
have been updated to work offline. This makes them even more useful, especially to those of you who snap up one of our new
Chromebooks
.
Finally, for those of you who prefer to surf the web in a different language, we’ve made the Chrome Web Store available in 41 languages. This is just a first step towards launching the store in 15 more countries with locally relevant applications. Some, like
SKY
for the UK and
EXAME
for Brazil, have already appeared in the store.
To play with all of these goodies and the more than 19,000 other items in the Chrome Web Store, you can start by downloading Google Chrome at
google.com/chrome
