The world’s information is at your fingertips when you have access to Google on your mobile phone or handheld device. In Chapter 27, you learned about finding directions using Google Maps on your mobile device. This chapter shows you that you can do even much more with mobile access to Google applications.

Many people have grown to rely on Google services, such as Gmail (see Chapter 19), searching the Web (see Chapter 1), Google Maps (see Chapter 27), and Blogger (see Chapter 25). These services are now available through your mobile device, whether it’s a cell phone or handheld computer. Learn how to use and configure these mobile services in this chapter.

Note 

When this chapter refers to mobile devices, it means small devices such as cell phones, handheld computers, and PDAs. Yes, laptops with wireless modems are also wireless devices, but they do not require the special display technologies discussed in this chapter.
