Default Google Targets Mobile Future

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/5056344.stm

"If you use Google, the chances are that you search its index via the internet. But the company's ambitions do not begin and end with its online presence. For some time now, it has been establishing ways for people to use its roster of services via mobile devices. The man in charge of the Google mobile mission is Dipchand "Deep" Nishar. He believes that when people are out and about, they want very different answers from Google than they would if they were sat in front of a PC. For instance, he said, the first result that comes up after typing "film" into a PC browser is the Internet Movie Database."But type 'films' into a mobile browser and you are most likely going to see a movie," he told the BBC News website."

I personally love a lot of Google's services. Every morning when I wake up the first thing I do is open up Pocket IE and check the weather via Google Weather, the cheap mans Fizz Traveller . It is nice to see a company as huge as Google paying attention to something as tiny as a browsing on a mobile device. It appears that they are putting a lot of thought into how differently their search technology reacts when compared to searching from your desktop PC.
