The new Chrome browser; where to from here?

I've been using the new Google Chrome browser for a few days. I've run into a few problems [mostly compatibility with plugins], but generally the experience has been positive. I like the clean interface and the simple tools section. There's plenty of room for improvement -- afterall this is version 0.2.149.27...not even 1.0 -- but for the average user this should work just fine. I'm looking forward to updates and plugins.

If they can port this to my handheld [Samsung Blackjack II], my office Mac and PC, as well as my home PC notebook and allow me to keep my bookmarks, data, browsing history and settings synchronized between all machines -- which doesn't seem like a much of a stretch for Google since they already let me do a variation of this via Google Docs -- this would valuable at home, work and on the road.

I've also wondered why the browser couldn't be the operating system as well? Why bother with Windows, Linux, or OS X when all I'm doing is working through a browser interface and using web apps?
