Mobile Tech News -- Google Today Screen Plug-In, iambic ToolboxToGo and Speereo Voice Contact Released

Google Releases Today Screen Plug-In for Windows Mobile

Google has introduced a plug-in for Windows Mobile devices that puts a search shortcut onto the phone's Today Screen. The idea behind this is to reduce the time it takes to get answers from Google by eliminating the initial search steps (e.g. finding the browser, opening it, and navigating to Google.com before entering the query).

Windows Mobile users can go to mobile.google.com on their device to download the plug-in.

A similar plug-in is also available for users of BlackBerries and S60 smartphones, and is available from the Google Mobile web site.
