Google Search for Windows Mobile

A new version of the Google Mobile Application for the Windows Mobile smartphones has been released. This adds support to the search service for My Location and Google Suggest. Google Suggest minimizes the number of keystrokes you need for a search query by ‘suggesting’ a complete search by offering phrases that can be easily selected. This helps you find what you need faster, and is especially useful for handsets that don’t have a QWERTY keypad or touch screen keyboard. And My Location automatically determines where you are currently so your search results are localized, giving you useful results that correspond to the area you are in.

Working hand-in-hand with My Location, now your localized search results can indicate that they can be pinpointed on a Google Map. By selecting the red pin icon, you will be taken straight to an areal view to help get you where you’re going.

The new application is available for Windows Mobile users, and can be downloaded directly to your phone at m.google.com. This Google service is free, however be aware that your carrier fees will still apply for data transfers connection to the internet.
