Official Google Blog: Google Mobile App: faster, easier search on iPhone & iPod Touch

Our first downloadable iPhone application is here. It’s free, and it makes searching faster and easier. It’s never as easy to type on a mobile phone
as on a full keyboard and the mobile network is rarely as fast as a desktop connection. So Google Mobile App starts working as soon as you type.

This would be a lot cooler (and more useful) on an iPhone Tablet.

MacDailyNews - The only thing really wrong with Apple’s iPhone is its name

Back to the naming issue: Apple’s “iPhone” isn’t really a phone at all. It’s really a small touchscreen Mac OS X computer, a Mac nano tablet, it you will. Here’s how misnamed the iPhone is: some people are complaining that Jobs didn’t spend enough time on the Mac in his keynote! Folks, iPhone is not only a Mac, it’s the most radical new Mac in years! What’s to stop Apple from making a 12-inch (and larger, and smaller) one of these (use the headset for the phone, please) and calling it a Mac tablet?

I don’t want an iPhone. I don’t want to be stuck with AT&T’s pokey EDGE network and I don’t want a 3.5″ browser.

But I’d love an 8 1/2 x 11 iPhone with a hard disk and about a thousand PDF books on it… wouldn’t that make a terrific complement for Google Books? I’ve read rumors that Google and Apple are thinking about working much more closely … an iReader with iBookstore would make a lot of sense. Maybe this is where Google Book Search is going with its long-delayed “online access” option. (I submitted my pricing info for online access more than 18 months ago, and no sign of the feature yet…)
