Category Gossips
Google has announced a new and improved version of its search engine for mobile phones. You can access it by going to google.co.uk/m — if you’ve used Google mobile before, you’ll immediately notice a few changes.The new start page looks more like the one you’d find when you’re using your computer, but more importantly the search results are now more similar to the standard results, with a mixture of mobile, news and normal results displayed.
There’s also the option to look at photos via Google Images, which is handy if you feel like seeing a pic of the latest gadget or you’re just vain and want to search for pictures of yourself online.
With phones and more specifically mobile browsers getting better at displaying standard Web pages, you’ll have the option to browse mobile content or normal content without needing to switch views, as you had to before.
