Introducing Chrome Canary for Android!

Good news, everyone!  Chrome Canary is now available for Android.  You can (and should) read more about it on the Chromium Blog - it's our least stable channel so it may crash frequently, and it will use a lot of bandwidth updating daily.

As always, please send us any issues you find by reporting feedback here.
