Yet another Google mobile product has been updated this week. This time, it’s iGoogle getting a function and design facelift.
iGoogle has a new beta version for Android devices that is optimized for speed and better replication of the full-featured website. A great start to that is the added supports for more gadgets (Flash-based gadgets not included) and tabs. The new tab support means users can finally better organize their mobile gadget content in a cleaner fashion.
The new iGoogle also displays article summaries on the homepage, which means you’ll have more than just a title to decide if you want to read an entire article. Almost 40 languages are supported in the new iGoogle.
I’m glad to see this along with other improvements. While I use the desktop version as a way to shorten my morning routine of checking email, news, websites, movie times, and more, I never felt the old iGoogle was a fitting start page.
Visit igoogle.com in the Android browser and press the link that says “Try the new Mobile iGoogle.”
Finally, I can access my other tabs!
I have had the phone for a COUPLE OF WEEKS I am a blackberry user for many years. I have also had Tmobile for several years and was thinking of switching because I wanted a touch screen phone. I like the browser on the internet and how it locks itself when not in use and the fact that it tells you what to do to get in to it. The email needs a lot of work; it is constantly sending the same alert of new emails which is very annoying. I have 9 email accounts so it takes a while to go through each one don't like spending all of that time digging in the email accounts. I liked that you could go into one folder to see all new emails or go into the seperate emails on the blackberry. I would like more control on sounds and vibration modes.
