Chrome Apps

[Jojo Yee]

What apps have you installed from the Chrome Web Store when you're using Chrome browser?

I've installed these for the time being:

• Goolge Calendar
• Google Docs
• Offline Google Mail
• Quick Note
• Angry Birds
• Dictionary

Some of these supports for offline view or play, like Offline Google Mail and Angry Birds. Better still, if you run Chrome apps from a shortcut**, it appears as if you're running a desktop app, just with windows control buttons, and no address bar, no tabs, no bookmark bar. You can click a pinned icon on the Taskbar to run Chrome app without the need to first open up Chrome.

What's your take on this?

**When you open a new tab in Chrome, right-click an app icon, create its shortcut and pin it to the Taskbar, Start Menu or Desktop.
