Google updates 2 mobile services
Google's mobile team seems to be keeping pretty busy these days. The company has released an updated version of Gmail Mobile, and Google Maps now works on phones running the Symbian operating system.Not much more to say about the Symbian support, but Gmail Mobile 1.5 does seem to have a few features absent from version 1.1:

It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place.

I can barely look at the Java Gmail app now, I hope they're planning to release a Symbian version soon.

T-Mobile still blocks third-party java apps on the majority of their phones. I can download GMail and GMaps, but T-Mobile doesn't allow them to recieve any data from the internet.

I have T-Mobile with the Pearl and they work fine for me. However, the GMail v.1.5 is not yet available for Blackberry.
