#2This is a really nice inventory of the latest Chrome Developer Tools. I also really like the recent Settings additions of "emulate touch events" and "Override device metrics" for mobile web development.

Ah damn! I had both those on my outline but forgot to write about them :( I'll update the post. Thanks :D

#4I was just on the Chrome Dev hangout watching some of the latest mobile devtools features demo'd. These are also really neat - ability to set resolution, simulate user agent, simulate touch events, and dock devtools to the right (so you don't have problems with it becoming too narrow when making the browser thin).

#5This is a great resource and I'm glad Majd wrote it. However, this is really the kind of content that should be coming out of Google itself.
Google is in an interesting position. Of all of the major Silicon Valley tech companies, I think Google is the one most seen as the "web" company, and yet they've staked a lot of their future on Android. Android, instead of making the web a first-class citizen, has in fact set the mobile web back by years. While they should have worked to bring all of the strengths of the web to mobile devices, they decided to play the app game on Apple's terms and, IMO, have lost.
Surely someone at Google realizes that killing the open web also kills the company's cash cow--search and related advertising--but based on their behavior it doesn't seem like it.
My hope is that the Android wakes up and decides to make the web a priority again. In league with the Chrome team (some of the smartest people I've ever met), they could do wonders to make developing for the mobile web a joy instead of the disaster that it currently is. Google needs focus, and it needs its focus to be on the mobile web. Having great, unified documentation about building sophisticated web apps that competes with Apple's Developer Centers is a good start to doing so.

#6A mild concern of mine with the "Google, if you’re listening" annotations. It's worth remembering that Chromium's an open-source project. If you really want something, send a patch.

Steve Jobs started it. Everyone will follow it to the bitter end.
