-<h3>What are Google Chrome Extensions?</h3>
+<h3>What are extensions?</h3>
<p>
-<em>Extensions</em> are small software programs
-that can modify and enhance the functionality of Google Chrome.
+Extensions are small software programs that
+can modify and enhance the functionality of the Chrome browser.
You write them using web technologies such as
HTML, JavaScript, and CSS.
+You can also use the extension system to build
+<a href="apps.html">packaged apps</a>,
+a downloadable kind of
+<a href="http://code.google.com/chrome/apps/index.html">installable web app</a>.
</p>
<p>
-Here are some examples of extensions:
+<img src="images/index/NEW/gmail.png" width="91" height="35" align="right" style="margin-top:0px; margin-left:0.5em" alt="A screenshot of an extension's icon in the browser bar">
+From a user's point of view,
+extensions and packaged apps are very different
+because they present very different user interfaces.
+Extensions have little to no user interface.
+For example, the image to the right shows the icon
+that provides the UI for the
+<a href="samples.html#gmail">Gmail extension</a>.
</p>
-<table class="columns" id="pics">
-<tbody><tr>
- <td>
- <img src="images/index/gmail.png" width="150" height="79">
- </td>
- <td>
- <p>
- <b><a href="samples.html#gmail">Google Mail Checker</a></b><br>
- Uses a <em>browser action</em>
- (icon in the toolbar)
- to display how many unread messages
- are in your Gmail inbox.
- Click the icon to go to your inbox.
- </p>
- </td>

+<img src="images/index/html5app.png" width="200" height="160" align="right" style="margin-top:0px; margin-left:0.5em" alt="A screenshot of a packaged app that implements a jigsaw puzzle">
+Packaged apps, on the other hand,
+look and feel like regular web apps,
+with a big-screen design
+and rich UI.
+The image to the right shows a jigsaw puzzle game
+implemented by a packaged app.

- Uses a <em>page action</em>

- (code injected into a web page)
- to let you subscribe to a feed in the current web page.

-To keep up with the latest news on extensions, read the
-<a href="http://blog.chromium.org/">Chromium blog</a> and the
-<a href="http://chrome.blogspot.com/">Google Chrome blog</a>,
-and subscribe to the
-<a href="http://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/group/chromium-extensions">chromium-extensions group</a>.
+Both extensions and packaged apps bundle all their files
+into a single file that the user downloads and installs.
+This bundling means that, unlike ordinary web apps,
+extensions and packaged apps don't need to depend
+on content from the web.
+</p>
+<p>
+You can distribute your extension or packaged app
+by using the
+<a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/developer/dashboard">Chrome Developer Dashboard</a>
+to publish to the
+<a href="http://chrome.google.com/webstore">Chrome Web Store</a>.
+For more information, see the
+<a href="http://code.google.com/chrome/webstore">store developer documentation</a>.
