Google's got a new browser going beta tomorrow; they've (inadvertently, and then deliberately) released a comic to explain it.
Salient features from a quick skim:
Open-source
V8 JS VM; improved GC, JIT, and more
Webkit
One process per tab/plugin
Gears built-in
Start page rather resembling Iamthewalrus's in functionality
Allegedly "light", "clean" UI
--which means that it might fit ok on a tablet screen, but also that it definitely breaks the UI spec.
And yes, it's available tomorrow; no word on what platforms they'll release binaries for, though. It looks at least as interesting as FF3 as far as desktop browsers on tablets go.
