Mountain View, California - (Cheap Web Hosting Directory) - January 15, 2008 - Google has issued improvements to the integrated experience on iPhone, of the recently launched suite of web applications including Search, Gmail, Calendar, and Reader, among other applications, into one interface.
The interface has been further streamlined, to render the applications faster with improved usability. Some of the improvements announced today include:
Improved UI: The applications look and feel slicker, and they are easier to activate, navigate and use via a touch-screen.
Customization of default tabs: Now Google users can have easy access to their favorite applications by customizing the applications that appear on the Google.com menu bar. Users simply choose their favorite Google applications to bring them to the front menu, ensuring that they'll be close at hand whenever they're needed. Switching between applications is effortless, as users only need to sign in once to access their Gmail, Calendar, Reader, Docs, and Picasa accounts.
Speedier Gmail: New emails will automatically show up so there's no need to manually refresh inboxes, with a new auto-complete feature for contacts.
Speedier Calendar: With Google's new month view, users can glance at an entire month of appointments.
iGoogle: Google users can access iGoogle gadgets on the iPhone. Everything customized on the iGoogle homepage including weather, stocks, and news feeds now appear on iPhones. To go to iGoogle, click on the iGoogle link on the Home tab.
The new features provide iPhone users with a desktop-like Google web application experience in terms of ease-of-use, speed, and feature richness but optimized for the iPhone. This experience is made possible by the iPhone's general usability and the capabilities of its web browser, combined with Google's innovative mobile web applications. Google plans to expand this experience to international versions of the iPhone and to other platforms that offer similar usability and browser capabilities. One of Google's goals is to support platforms that are fulfilling the promise of the mobile web - like the iPhone - and to ultimately deliver unique and compelling mobile experiences that improve people's daily lives.
