I guess it seems logical to me to have the same page show on all mobile browsers, especially when you consider the <a href="http://www.android.com/" target="_blank">Android</a> coming into the mix. Google wouldn't want one phone to have an advantage over their own phone now would they? &nbsp;I didn't use the iPhone iGoogle interface all that often so it doesn't matter too much to me. Any power <a href="http://www.google.com/ig" target="_blank">iGoogle</a> users out there upset over this change?&nbsp;</p>

I didn't really use it, and from a business perspective it makes sense to standardize the display.
