I don't believe it run Chrome, it has Safari which just like the iPhone, is ample browsing really.
You can't truely multi-task yet, not till OS4 is released, but as with the iPhone and touch, the iPod will play in the background whilst running other apps, unless they're very old in which case it won't and halts playback.

ummmm.... perhaps i'm missing somethng here, cant you just look at the night sky? how does an app help?
It uses your GPS and Compass as well as accelerometer to tell you what you're looking at, as well as help find constellations and planets. Yes you can look at the sky, but when you have this quite neat little app and are able to point out what appear to be stars and actually find out it's Saturn or Venus, it adds a little more to the viewing.
It's got a few of my friends very interested in astronomy now so I feel it's served it's purpose. Also makes a BBQ at about 2 am on top of Gold Ball a little more interesting when theres sod all else to do in Wycombe
