Chapter 30. Using Google Mobile Services

Google is a great tool for anyone with a personal computer and a connection to the Internet. But it's also quite useful if you have a cell phone or other mobile device (such as a PDA). That's because Google offers a variety of mobile services, under the umbrella of Google Mobile.

That's right, you can access many of Google's most popular features from your mobile phone. You can use Google Mobile to search the Web, find local restaurants and businesses, download maps and directions, view the latest news headlines, and even send and receive email messages. All you need, in most instances, is a web-enabled mobile phone, and you're ready to go.
