I’m keeping one eye on my Wave box as I try to follow the Google IO conference while juggling a few other tasks. One significant product announcement that came out of yesterday’s keynotes was the Chrome Web Store.

I repeat, these are Web apps that will run on any browser. For now, there’s a slight advantage to using Chrome: when these apps are installed (so to speak) in this Google browser a shortcut will automatically be created.

The Chrome Store is expected to open its doors later this year.
