Summary

Google has created a portal to the world’s information. With Google Mobile, you have access to this same information on your handheld wireless device. Search the Web using several wireless technologies. Check your Gmail account right from your phone. Reading the news and checking the weather are among the things you can set up on your own mobile Web page.

There are many Google applications available from your mobile device, even blogging. A blog, when created from a mobile device, is affectionately called a moblog (pronounced m_ blog) for mobile blog. You can find more information about Blogger Mobile in Chapter 25.

There’s more to mobile computing than e-mail and the Web. You can use Google to send SMS text messages. Find out more about Google SMS in Chapter 29.
