The rush of Friday June 11th is well and truly over but people are still trying hard to get their hands on the new iPhone 3G, while all this is happening things are still all go with the new App Store.
Today we hear that Google has launched their new Mobile App for iPhone, this application [...]
Now in the wake of the disastrous iPhone Friday, I am hoping most iPhoner’s have by now sorted out their iPhones, and if so will have probably already installed Google’s native application for the iPhone via the AppStore.
Originally my thoughts were, Google, another way for making a search, however it would appear that I was [...]

Google has a new version of Google Maps for Mobile (Version 2.2) that allows you to get transit directions in all the same places as the web version of Google Maps, including Chicago, the San Francisco Bay Area, Seattle, Vancouver, and over 40 other cities in North America.This version of Google Maps for mobile even has features not yet available on the desktop version of Google Maps. For example,
Webmonkey got an extended look at some of the newest features of the latest Google Android mobile phone software stack today. Video of yesterday’s keynote and high-res screenshots follow plenty of buzz surrounding the phone software.

Search Locally Without Typing with New Google Mobile Tool [Cell Phones] Search for local businesses in your area without resorting to your clunky mobile keyboard with the new, quietly unleashed Google Mobile feature found at google.com/m/lcb. When you navigate to the "lcb" page (local businesses?), Google Mobile identifies what city you're in (or tries to—my test had me in either Columbus, OH [wrong] or Los Angeles [right!]), so all you have to do is click through the business categories to narrow down exactly what you're looking for. As the ZDNet post points out, the feature would be a lot more useful if it pinpointed your location within the city à la Google Maps on the iPhone, but either way it could come in really handy if you aren't keen on using your unfriendly mobi

As Matt reported on 31 Jan 2008, Google released enhanced mobile search in the UK. Since the official release of the application on February 21 I've been playing with the Symbian S60 incarnation on a Nokia n95 8gb. Here's what I found:
The claim by Robert Hamilton (Google Mobile's Product Manager) that using the ‘phone app, rather than opening a web browser, reduces the initial search time by 40% is bang on- comparably it is incredibly fast.
Installing it is a doddle. From your ‘phone go to Google Mobile and download it.
Once installed there's a default option to use a screen shortcut:
...but I preferred to disable it and place a shortcut in the active standby apps toolbar (I found that the screen shortcut can get in the way if you've a long list of reminders):
Το Google ανακοινωσε οτι η υπηρεσια Google Mobile Ads ειναι πλεον διαθεσιμη και στην Ελλαδα. Πραγμα που σημαινει οτι πλεον οι διαφημισεις κειμενου θα εμφανιζονται και στα κινητα τηλεφωνα ολων οσων χρησιμοποιουν το κινητο τους τηλεφωνο για να να πραγματοποιησουν αναζητησεις.
Το Google Mobile Ads εχει τα ιδια χαρακτηριστικα με τις διαφημισεις κειμενου που εμφανιζονται και στο internet, απλα με μικροτερο οριο εμφανισης χαρακτηρων.
Google has released the Google Mobile Updater for the BlackBerry, a small bit of software that keeps an eye on Google applications and helps you install updates to them as necessary.Google Mobile Updater is a free download, currently only for the RIM BlackBerry users, that lets you install and update Google Mobile services. Google Mobile Updater will keep you notified of new Google Mobile services as well as updates to installed applications. This way, you can be sure to have the most current version of your favorite Google Mobile applications when you are on the go.To download the apps go to mobile.google.com and click on "Get Google's mobile products in a single download" option.When you run the updater, it checks against Google's servers to see what the most recent version is. Once it has updated itself, you'll get the option to Install All apps, or install them individually. Most of the "apps" are just shortcuts to open the webpages. Real apps include GMail for Mobile and Google
Google started an official blog to discuss all of their mobile applications and see demos of what they look like. This is great since you use to have to keep on checking on your own to see when they release a new version of one of their mobile applications and typically there wasn't a lot of information of what is new in the build. One good post you can see there already is about the Google Mobile Updater for BlackBerry which makes it simple to stay informed and up-to-date when there are new versions or products for your BlackBerry.
Google has released version 2.0 of 'Google Maps for mobile', its innovative mobile mapping and local search application. My Location (beta) calculates a user's location by measuring the distance of the phone from nearby base stations. Unfortunately, it isn't as precise as using GPS, but it drains less battery life. Google is hoping to get within one-quarter to three miles of a user's location.Google stated that they “use various algorithms to approximate your location relative to the cells nearest you. The accuracy of this information depends on how big an individual cell is. Thus, areas with a denser concentration of mobile towers allow for a more accurate My Location reading. Additionally, as our database of cell locations continues to improve, so too does the accuracy and coverage of the My Location feature.”My Location" technology is claimed to be faster than GPS; besides being able to cover the inside of buildings unlike GPS; and results in slower drainage of batteries vi
Google has unveiled its Android software (Android was bought by Google in 2005) which it hopes will power the new generations of mobile phones. Its working with Samsung, HTC, Motorola and LG and the first phone based on google software is expected to come out in 2008. Google has formed the Open Handset Alliance (OHA), made up of 34 companies, including chip manufacturers and handset makers, a move seen as a major competition to Microsoft,Symbian.The software could lead to cheaper phones as it is designed to speed up the process of making mobile services.
Google Inc. is in advanced talks with two top U.S. cellphone operators, Verizon Wireless and Sprint Nextel Corp., about selling handsets tailored to its new mobile-phone operating system, people familiar with the matter said.
Deals with the carriers would represent a major breakthrough for the Internet search giant, which until now has encountered wariness from [...]
Normally in the summer season there is a reduction in Internet activity, however, Google has seen a 35 jump in their mobile and wireless services (maps, e-mail and search) between May and June. At a Web marketing conference in Silicon Valley, Marissa Mayer, Google's vice president of search products, stated that Google is "seeing and more mobile activity". One reason for the increased mobile Web activity is due to the recently launched Apple iPhone which is heavily integrated into the Internet. The Apple iPhone caused a 40 to 50 percent increase in use of Google Maps which is one of the numerous Internet applications on the smartphone.The surge in Google mobile traffic is a reverse to previous years of both mobile and computer Internet activity decreasing during these months when people normally go on vacation.
Some hints if its ture or not.
Google has announced that it may bid for wireless-spectrum licenses at a coming government auction. The Federal Communications Commission on Tuesday approved rules addressing some of Google’s concerns about the sale.
If it owned spectrum, Google might turn into a phone operator itself.
Unlike Apple, whose cellphone is available exclusively through AT&T, Google is hoping that multiple operators will offer its phone.
Google has invested hundreds of millions of dollars in the cellphone project, say people who have been briefed on it. It has developed prototype handsets, made overtures to operators such as T-Mobile USA and Verizon Wireless, and talked over technical specifications with phone manufacturers. It hopes multiple manufacturers will make devices based on its specs and multiple carriers will offer them.
The long-rumored Google phones are still in the planning stages, and wouldn’t be available to consumers until next year at the earli
Google have just launched a new version of their mobile search service and it looks a lot like Yahoo! Mobile OneSearch with some added personalisation features.
The new version can be seen at:
Google Mobile Search
It includes the following changes:
No more options to search Images, local or mobile-friendlly pages
Instead, the algorithm automatically detects the nature and source [...]
Google is developing its own mobile phone, according to industry insiders, while a Google official in Spain last week acknowledged that the company is “investigating” in such a project. Google isn’t commenting directly on leaks from Europe and US which describe Google Phone as a low cost, Internet connected phone with a color, wide-screen design. Newspapers and blog reports in recent months have Google shopping its phone design to potential mobile phone manufacturing partners in Asia. “Mobile is an important area for Google,” Google spokesmen Erin Fors said. “We remain focused on creating applications and establishing and growing partnerships with industry leaders to develop innovative services for users worldwide. However, we have nothing further to announce”
