Google News also with a version for Palm
Google remains very much in mind to users of mobile devices. Very smart, because sooner or later, this user profile will be the predominant in our society. First we saw how the search engine Google was going to take mobile version, then added Gmail, to get our mail at any time, and personalized start page of Google also appeared in mobile version. On the other hand, to Web pages that are too heavy to be able to see them comfortably (and ruined if we do through our mobile operator) on the small screen of our Palm, we were offered Google mobilize, a proxy that processed previously, in the style of Skweezer and Opera Mini, to back a version much simpler and more readable.
Google News now has mobile version
The last step in this direction has been the mobile version of Google News, an aggregator of information sources that is gaining increasing popularity among Internet users. It is not yet available in Spanish, but it's only a matter of time. In CanalPDA have done an excellent analysis of this service, which you can read below:
The version for mobile devices from Google, the popular Internet portal (the browser is already quite short) has added a new option to your page for mobile devices: it's mobile access to Google News, the service that continually gathers content of the main media in each country (4,500 sources in the U.S., 700 in Spain and Germany, 500 in France) and presents them in a home together in sections.
The new access to Google News for mobile is below the search options and over the mobile versions of Gmail e-mail. The cover of the service shows the three main news, followed by the sections menu (U.S., World, Entertainment, Sports, Science / Technology, Economy and Health), with the possibility of deploying each of them to see the first three holders.
Best of all is that, unlike other similar services, links to Google News Mobile does not lead to general pages of the media, but directly to the mobile versions of the same, thus facilitating navigation mode light, with small screens and slow connections for mobile phones and handheld computers.
The mobile version of Google News is only available to the news from the United States, but not yet for Google News, which compiles media in Spain. This forces a change of language to users who have configured in its Spanish mobile access to Google. Hopefully this limitation will be resolved soon ...
