Apparently it got leaked, and its been released sooner than expected:

First impressions? So far, anything Java powered has proven to be remarkably fast. Its fast in general, haven't had any problems yet. I'm really starting to like it, and the incognito mode that has no history, etc.

Not only is it fast, its fast as shit! Thought I'd clarify.

Pretty weird getting used to the URL bar being used for everything - URLs, searches, etc.

It definitely feels faster than FF3 to me. The layout is very simple and clean. Not really concerned about the theme colors, etc. I have FF3 and I'll keep using it when I need to, like for the Web Developer Toolkit and little things like that. But for simple browsing, this thing is fast! And you can turn it to browse in incognito mode. Thats -great- for people like me that browse at work when they aren't supposed to.

I'll never have to worry if I forgot to delete my history, or if I remember to run cccleaner again.

Go to Myspace, clear your history in both browsers, and watch how much faster it loads the page when you login, all the friend updates, all that crap. Crazy.

If something crashes, it only crashes that tab. Each tab has its own process, not everything bunched up into a single process such as in other browsers.

Hit Shift+Esc, its gives you a process manager where you can see how much CPU each is taking in real time, etc. Cool shit.

Seems much faster when you have multiple tabs open in comparison to anything else I've ever used.

 

[Ventolin]

And because each tab is a seperate process, it can utilize multiple cores.

I don't care what anyone says, this is so much noticeably faster on my PC than FF3. I've been playing with it all night and the difference is definitely there. Try using anything with lots of javascript.. its insane.
