Everyone and their grandma is jumping on the iPhone bandwagon these days. Well, actually, they’ve been jumping on the bandwagon, and they still are. Not that we’re complaining or anything.
Google (NSDQ: GOOG) has decided to bring their mobile interface offering up to speed with the iPhone. The search giant has optimized a version of their customizable iGoogle homepage for iPhone users. RSS feeds, weather, stocks, email, news – it’s all available in a convenient, single-column format that fits your iPhone’s display perfectly.
Point your iPhone Safari browser to google.com/ig/i to check out the iPhone optimized iGoogle homepage. It’s fully customizable through your Gmail account, so just keep that in mind.

There are so many iPhone users, it’s hard to ignore them I guess.
I agree MicahH. While I’m not a huge fan of the iphone, I am glad that many companies are starting to stand up and realize that there is potential out there in the mobile phone sector. Moves like this only help all mobile users in the end -
I think that there are much more useful cellulars then Iphone
so thats 2 seperate posts simply to say 2 websites are optimised for the iphone – wtf!? Any excuse to write the word iphone I guess guys;):p Google I guess I cant kind of understand but Bank of America..
The iPhone really is the best damn phone/device/thing ever!
Its sad to see the odd post where someone says how much they hate it.
Sorry, guys, but its the ONLY computer with a phone attached – the rest are simply NOT powerful enough, and their software is too clunky.
And its only six months old!
Imagine how much you will hate it when its on version 5 or something…!
LOL!
walter – lol, are you a comedian?;)
Google is also working on an open source software called Android that is supposed to be the new wave of thousands of new phone possibilities. They are even offering 10 million dollars for the best new phone concept/application/idea that makes use of their new open source software. Given this jewel I’d say iPhone has a lot to be concerned about. It will probably revolutionize the entire cell phone market.
