+<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:

+  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>.

-      <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.

+  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.

+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/extensions/developer/dashboard">Chrome Developer Dashboard</a>
+to publish to the
+<a href="http://chrome.google.com/webstore">Chrome Web Store</a>.
