Chrome web apps will soon tout desktop-like speed

Google is unveiling Chrome tools that will help web apps run as quickly as their native counterparts, not to mention make them more usable offline.

An SMS Receiver allows text-base two-factor authentication for secure sign-ins, while a contact picker and a native file system framework respectively help you share and save data more like you'd expect.

If enough web app writers do embrace this, though, Chromebooks may be more viable for people used to the performance and convenience of apps on other platforms.
