Google Mobile Search Feels the Need for Speed
Mobile is the wave of the future and accessing the web is increasingly becoming a must for mobile phone users. Smartphone sales are up and the iPhone is hot! But the internet is not as fast on your phone as it is on your laptop. That's why Google's news about an update to mobile search will come as welcome news to many.
Writing on the Google Mobile blog, Software Engineer James Watts explains:
"When you navigate to google.com in your browser, we cache the homepage on your phone. If you bookmark this homepage, then returning to Google using the bookmark is almost instantaneous."
iGoogle has also been improved for mobile. Start by going to iGoogle on your computer, and choose which widgets you want to access on your phone. Again, bookmarking iGoogle on your phone helps it load faster.

Google has linked the iGoogle gadgets that appear on a user’s mobile home page to the iGoogle page on their desktops. This means that users can now rearrange the gadgets that display on the mobile iGadget from their desktop, allowing for easier iGoogle gadget management.
