So showing Chromium isn't (yet) a very good argument for supporting the power of open source because it still doesn't work well xD just cool it's possible.
The argument isn't that it runs better than Opera, it's that a browser for a real (real being non-mobile based) OS is able to run on the phone. Everything on the iPhone is tailored made to run.

As you can see from how Chromium is implemented here, this is not hte case for the N900.

I think bragging rights are still very much in order.

Try something like that on the iPhone. Oh wait you can't, without jailbreaking it. And after iPhone 4, you'll really be screwed, as it's apple way or the highway.
