Google's Chrome web browser has been ported to the Maemo phone the Nokia N900

Google's Chrome browser has been ported to the Nokia N900.

The port for the N900 functions in large part identically to the Chromium open source development version of Google's Chrome browser and supports most of the same features as the original browser.

The browser isn't available for direct download from the N900 app manager, however.

If users want to use this browser they'll have to plug into a console and use the DPKG package manager to get their mobile browse on.

Slashgear has discovered full instructions on this simple process and they can be found here: http://wiki.maemo.org/Extras

So if you own an N900 and want to make Santa's naughty list later this year, check out how Chrome runs on the go.
