For all those who have loaded everything listed in the Google Mobile Updater, it’s time for a bit of an upgrade from that lonesome search bar. The latest update bundles together all those disparate apps into one package. Right from the front search screen, you can access native Gmail and Google Maps programs, while the More button gives you quick shortcuts to mobile websites for News, Reader, Calendar, Docs, Photos, and Notebook – even the Calendar Sync is built into the new app. One of my favourite enhancements is suggested searches, letting you quickly find what you’re searching for without having to thumb the whole query in. Search history also lets you quickly get to old look-ups, and Google Apps Domain support is also included. Want to get started? Hit up m.google.com on your mobile browser to get the download.

About The Author
Simon Sage
Simon Sage’s education largely surrounded writing, technology and online community, leading him to begin his blogging career at www.BlackBerryCool.com and to quickly discover a vibrant and active community surrounding BlackBerry and mobile technology. In exploring RIM’s platform, he has learned what enterprises are looking for in mobility as well as what makes the innocuous BlackBerry so appealing to them. Recently Simon’s been covering RIM’s gradual move into an already-crowded consumer market, and the impact of burgeoning challengers, such as the iPhone, as well as long-time leaders, like Nokia, on BlackBerry’s advancement.
With plenty of content under his belt, Simon will be branching off a bit to see what other smartphone manufacturers are working on while still using BlackBerry as a barometer. At IntoMobile, you can count on his posts being even-handed, well-informed and thought-out.
