A Google Search client for S60?
February 22, 2008 by Asri al-Baker
In a move seen as redundant, the big G, just made available a native search client for S60 smartphones. It is a simple application which needs to be activated from the standby screen by pressing “Ctrl” or the “Pencil” button. Anyway, it’s a redundant move by Google because they have announce a collaboration with Nokia to be part of Nokia’s Mobile Search application. In order for you to download the new search client, just point your mobile browser to http://mobile.google.com and look for a Search link.
Our friend, Rafe of AllAboutSymbian had written a nice rundown about the app. Check it out!
I don’t really see it as redundant. The latest version of Nokia’s search app takes several seconds to even show up, is slow when using it. And have some issues with navigation. Googles app, on the other hand, launches instantly and is a simple type words and press search thing.
