Google has taken the first step toward bringing the Chrome Web Store to rest of the world.
The Chrome Web Store is Google's version of the App Store, built specifically for the web. Users can search, download and install web apps for the Chrome Browser. While some apps are simply external links to existing website, others are fully functional HTML5 web apps and games.
The Chrome Web Store has only been available in the U.S. since its official release last year. Today, the search giant announced a preview release for its developer dashboard that lets developers enable their apps for downloading in multiple countries.
The countries Google will initially support include Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Spain and the United Kingdom. Developers can also set the price of their apps country by country, but developers outside the U.S. will have to wait a little longer to get the merchant accounts necessary for processing international transactions.
