Included in the update:
- Interoperability with other Google Apps - Option to open links for YouTube, Maps, G+ and Drive in the app instead of the browser.
- Enhancements to voice search - Text-to-speech for all variations of English, Spanish, German, Italian, French, Japanese, and Korean. Toolbar controls are always available when using voice search
- Fullscreen on iPad
- Data cost savings - Reduce data usage and speed up page load times. View data savings in Bandwidth Management settings. This feature is being rolled out and will be available to all users over time.
- Access to browser history
- Stability / security improvements and bug fixes
Chrome for iOS is available for free as a universal app (iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch) in the App Store [iTunes Link].
