I already use many of Google's
mobile services since they work so fast and elegantly on my mobile device. The hallmark of many of Google's services -
stripped-down functionality with very quick speed - is quickly making its way to your mobile device. Mobile Gmail (http://m.gmail.com) and Mobile Google (http://www.google.com/xhtml) are just two examples. Type either of these into
your phone's web browser (or your PC browser if you would like) and there's Google at your fingertips. Of course,
Google is smart enough to know if your coming to them from your mobile phone or your PC's browser, so you can get there
by simply visiting google.com on your phone and you should end up at the right place depending on which
device you're using to get there.Now, a favorite news aggregator of mine - Google News - is going mobile. Just to go Google Mobile (link above) and click the "News" link and voila - Google's news aggregator on your phone. If you're so inclined and would like mapping and satellilte views of the nation on your phone - and it supports Java, or J2ME (MIDP 1.0 or 2.0) - try visiting and downloading the Java midlet "Google Local" by sending your phone's browser to http://www.google.com/glm. Life is good.
1. I did not know Gmail had a mobile interface - now you say that Google News has one too? And Google had one?
I've been using my Tmobile SideKick that can look at most sites, not just those that are for mobile users. Still, since it's available I plan to use it.
