hey guys it's Brandon minimun from pocket now calm a lot of people refer to the default Android browser as Chrome and in fact it's just the default Android browser it's not Chrome today Google has released Chrome Beta for Android and it has a lot of really cool features and a really impressive UI that really takes advantage of fast devices with a lot of RAM let's take a look at it now and so this is an Ice Cream Sandwich app and one of the coolest things that it does is it allows you to place shift from your desktop to your phone a lot of other browsers allow you to do this that is have the taps that are open on your desktop they also open on your phone but now we finally have it in Chrome a lot of people use Chrome and they really didn't have that fluidity between desktop and between mobile browsers so let's go into chrome beta here and right now we are looking at the verge and it's got some really cool UI features for example if we go up to the tabs here we can actually flip through our tabs and if we want to discard one we chuck it off the screen here's one of my favorite features you can switch between tabs by swiping to the left or to the right in this case and look how smooth that is how many times are you switching between multiple web pages and you wish there is a faster way to do so without having to pick up here to the open tabs and and click that way as you can see performance is very very smooth and let's say you want to open up a new tab so we can go up here to new tab and by the way you saw some of the options up here new tab new incognito tab bookmarks other devices which we'll talk about in the sec find in page kind of a search settings and help you can kinda see the Ice Cream Sandwich interface the back button is hidden out of sight and the forward button and so down here we have three choices if we want to open up a do new tab number one is sort of the speed dial view that you get in Chrome on the desktop so it keeps track of recently visited webpages so very quickly you can jump to any page that you've been to already over here to the right we have bookmarks and this is syncing directly with my my desktop so I can always have my bevy of bookmarks in my pocket and over to the right this is probably the coolest part this is actually synced with my computer my PC so these three tabs are open right now on my desk and let's say I had 10 tabs open because there are 10 things I wanted to read later and go into Chrome on my Android phone pull up this screen and see all of these tabs that are open waiting for me to view them so a really cool interface pretty fast not the fastest browser certainly let's go to the desktop version of Pocket now and see how long that takes definitely competitive in terms of performance flip down the page as it's loading having a little trouble loading the page kind of kind of get a blank spot this is definitely in beta form in fact it has crashed several times already and this is the Galaxy Nexus the flagship Google phone right now so performance isn't that good I expect with time that this is going to get really really good and it's really refreshing to have this new interface that lets you swipe quickly between tabs it really increases productivity so it's in beta it's in the Android Market and there's no reason why you shouldn't try it if you have an Ice Cream Sandwich device we'll put a link up in the description so you can go check out chrome beta for Android phone and let us know what you think about it that's it for now
