Google has mobilized their product search feature for the Apple iPhone and their own Android OS, so now you can easily check for prices when you need them most – while you’re at the store. Easy sorting options, access to user reviews, and technical specifications are all nice touches. Although Google has the page formatted specifically for iPhone and Android, you can still make product searches on BlackBerry, it just doesn’t look as pretty – maybe we’ll see Shopping Results built into Google’s tailor-made app in the near future. The Big G has a huge stable of web services that they can port over to mobile at their whim, and it’s always a nice surprise when they do. Right now product search available in the UK and US only, just hit up google.com on your mobile browser to give it a shot.

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.
