Google is replacing webkit on their Android software with their own Chrome mobile browser. It may already be done.

webkit is the rendering engine used by chrome (and safari and konqueror and probably others). In what way are they replacing it with chrome?

They're replacing the current android browser with one which is based on the (desktop) Chrome browser. It still uses webkit as the rendering engine though. It the everything-but-the-rendering-engine that they're changing.
