This prediction is closed and has been judged.
Google quietly rolled out a new beta version of Chrome, just two days before Microsoft launched Internet Explorer 8.
Since Google's entry into the web browser market last September, Chrome's share has not budged higher than 1.3%, according to NetApps Market Share. Google has been aggressively marketing Chrome by blasting web ads and launching a blog dedicted to the new browser.
Prediction: Google Chrome hits a 2% market share by August 1, 2009. NetApps Market Share will be used to judge this prediction.

Chrome Mac and Linux should be out by August 1 and would contribute towards an increased market share.
Chrome is 1.8% as of June 3, according to the NetApp site.

Chrome seems to be pretty stable above 2% market share the last few weeks according to NetApps:
marketshare.hitslink.com/google-chrome-market-share.aspx?sample=24&qprid=32&qpdt=1&qpct=4&qpcustom=Chrome&qptimeframe=D&qpsp=3834&qpnp=25
The month of June is at 1.99% (averaged from the list of daily values) although NetApps hasn't published that stat yet. July is pretty obviously going to be well over 2%.
I just took a look at the page, and it says that the data is currently under review. There should be a result that can be used for judgment soon.

The numbers are in and have been "reviewed". In July Google Chrome had a 2.59% market share according to the Netapps page. Not a single day in July did their share go under 2%.
Judged. Details here, including an interesting analysis of where Chrome stands in relation to other browsers such as Safari:
