Will a Mac version of Google Chrome be released by the end of 2008?

Settled as No

In an interview, a Google executive said that Google planned to launch versions of Chrome for Linux and Apple's Mac OS X in the first half of next year. Given their focus on improving the Windows version for distribution deals this seems realistic. So, the question settles as No.
