Google speeds mobile search, offers Windows Mobile plug-in
I love serendipity. How else could I explain the planets aligning in this way: we get our hands on a Windows Mobile companion device at exactly the same point in the space-time continuum where Google offers a Today screen plug-in for Windows Mobile. As if that wasn’t enough, the Google has tweaked their mobile search mechanism to return results even faster. I’ve got the plug-in installed on the ATT Tilt, so with the REDFLY this is the first time I’ve seen a Google search field measuring around seven-inches in Windows Mobile.By the way, this is the same search plug-in that Symbian S60 and Blackberry device owners already had, so don’t write in complaining that your device is a red-headed stepchild. This is just Windows Mobile catching up, ‘k? Hit up http://mobile.google.com on your WinMo handheld for the download.
How obnoxious. mobile.google.com will only offer you the download if you’re using Pocket Internet Explorer. Going there with Opera Mini or NetFront doesn’t give you the option.
Gee, there’s been a Google today plug-in for the Sharp Wzero3 Windows Mobile phones in Japan for almost a year. Of course, it was produced by a third party and does work with Opera.
