Here is something told by the Mac developers team.

We can’t make concrete predictions yet; the Windows version is going into beta first, simply by virtue of having had a head start. For a number of reasons, much of the initial prototyping and design was done for Windows. We wanted to make sure that the user experience was very smooth for Windows users as well, and when you’re hashing out and testing ideas it can be helpful to not have to do so on three platforms simultaneously. However, once the design started to settle down, we started adding Mac and Linux engineers to the team, and they started getting the ball rolling on those platforms. Since they are in many respects more similar to each other than either is to Windows, we’ve ended up being able to share code between them, which has sped up development a bit.

Right now, both are in the “pieces build and pass tests, but there’s no Chromium application yet.” While we’re working hard and fast on catching up to the Windows version, we’re not setting an artificial date for when they’ll be ready–we simply can’t predict enough to make a solid estimate, and we expect to learn a lot from the Windows public beta as well.

So you can subscribe for the Google chrome release and they will send you a mail when the browser is open for download, for Mac users. Go subscribe now and start it off when you receive the mail.
