Users know exactly the difference between surfing web on a computer browser and on a mobile web browser. Due to the small size and low performance of mobile web browsers they often do not let you use the features of a site exactly the way you could have used them on your computer browser.
Smart Phones like Nokia N95 and Apple iPhone have made mobile web surfing more fun and realistic but they still lack some basic features.
Steve Kanefsky, a software engineer of the Google Mobile Team has made life easy for all the iPhone users around the world.
Now through the Google iPhone Application, users can easily access all their Google services (Google Search, Google Suggest, Gmail etc) and can interact with them just like they would on their computer browser.
This application is not limited to the iPhone users only. iPod Touch users can take advantage of this new application and can surf the web with more easy now. This application has been made purely using the AJAX technology offered by the iPhone Safari Browser.
Just point your browser to www.Google.com on your iPhone and experience the new interface.

Well guess what, all of this has been available for better mobile devices for a long long long time! I can even have Google reformat other peoples websites to fit nicely onto my Pocket PC.
In other words, this is not new, except for the fact that Apple is still behind, as they always have been and always will be!
Funny that you think Apple is behind when the fact is they lead the way in both hardware design and operating system design. Everyone knows that Microsoft “borrows” operating system ideas from Apple. In fact, Vista, which is 2 or 3 years late and is a dog, introduces features to PC users that Mac users have been enjoying in Apple’s OSX for several years already. So, I think you have your facts wrong. Apple’s new iPhone and iPod Touch have introduced a new paradigm for mobile devices that I’m sure companies in the PC world will try to emulate and compete with. I’m glad the world has Apple, or we’d all be stuck in a DOS world, I’m sure.
Let us not forget about the guys whom the world hail as crackers and hackers. For there are those among them who make using these devices a more fruitful experience. Otherwise we wouldn’t be enjoying these things they call “third-party applications.” Why, I wonder, does Apple insist on controlling what programs a guy can run on his iPhone? This Apple may be the one producing these great devices, but it’s the “third-party” that makes these so-called “jailbroken” devices so useful. Many are buying iPhones for these “bootleg,” “illegal” programs.
hey, it works. I just tried on my iPhone and it works like charm - fast & sleek.
