Ever away from your PC and need to find a restaurant? Or maybe you just need to settle a bet? Well if you have a mobile phone, you're in luck. We're happy to announce today Google's new and more powerful mobile search for Australia. Now, rather than having to specify what type of information you're after, Google takes results from all over the web: images, news, local businesses and more, and puts them all at your fingertips. A search for surfing, for instance, will give you images right along with your normal web pages.
Google's mobile search also helps cut down on keystrokes by remembering your location. Search for "cafes Perth" for instance, and Google makes a note of your location, so all your subsequent searches for weather, restaurants, etc. return results relevant to Perth. No matter where you are in Australia, Google can help you find what you need, now faster and easier than ever before.
To access our new mobile search service, just point your mobile browser to www.google.com.au/m. Be sure to bookmark it!
Also, be sure to check out the rest of Google's great mobile products: Google Maps with My Location (beta), GMail, Google Calendar, Google Docs, Google News and Picasa, which can be found by clicking on the "more..." link, or going directly to http://www.google.com.au/m/products.
