Google plans to release a new browser soon, based on Webkit, but with a new 
JavaScript engine, which is expected to be significantly faster than most 
browsers. While there are a lot of questions about it and some interesting 
discussion points, I am curious to see how, or if it changes the way we design 
and develop Web apps. It will also be interesting to see how they design the 
interface and flows within the browser, having stated that one major goal is to 
streamline and simplify the UI. The beta Windows version is to be released 
today, with Mac and Linux versions coming soon.
