Google Mobile Looking for Product Ideas

What better way to give the people what they want by simply asking them? An official page has popped up for Google (NSDQ: GOOG) Mobile users who want to suggest and vote on product ideas. Good call, Google! Top-voted ideas include:
- “Manage Google Calendar on Google Mobile (add, update, delete an event with all functionalities of the web application) (ex Phone : Iphone)”
- “A “Google Product Ideas” for all google services.”
- “An application that speaks the driving directions in google maps Usefull to use the phone as gps car navigator.”
- “Mobile view of all type of documents in Google Docs”
- “Google Calendar sync with iPhone, just like Google Contacts and Gmail does now.”
- “Real push mail available for all mobile users (not IMAP) including iPhone WindowsMobile phones, etc.”
Pretty solid ideas all around – as an avid Google Mobile user myself, I could appreciate spoken mapping directions, but a lot of these features, including push e-mail and calendar sync, I already have on BlackBerry (NSDQ: RIMM), it’s mostly iPhone users looking for something a bit more rich. As for other Google services, the suggestion thing seems likely to spread elsewhere as they’ve set up a new blog to cover what’s going on. Have an idea? Hit up the suggestions page and have your say, and leave a comment below; we’d love to hear what you want to see!
