Google unveils new iPhone interface for Google Apps
Just in time for MacWorld, Google has announced sizeable improvements to it's mobile applications for Apple's iPhone. Applications that have been updated include Google Reader, Calendar, Gmail, iGoogle, Search, and Picasa.
Google aims to make the mobile experience slicker and usable for iPhone users by better utilizing the iPhone's touch screen. Users can expect to see:
- A quicker Gmail: you no longer have to hit refresh to see when news messages arrive. Also, auto-complete makes typing in address quicker.
- Speedier Calendar: now look at month view and be able to see your entire month's activities at quick glance
- Default tabs can be customized: change and place your tabs on your iGoogle page. Also, single sign on for Google unlocks all google apps with one entry of your username and password
- iGoogle now shows your iGoogle Gadets. Chose from weather, stocks, newsfeeds, clocks, and many more.
If you have an iPhone, all these improvements can be seen by heading over to google.com on your mobile browser.
We're glad to see Google embrace the mobile market in this way. With great features such as these, more people will look at cell phones as a natural extension to their online lives.

You apparently didn't read the linked article:
"The previous version, launched just over a month ago, brought together our suite of web applications -- including Search, Gmail, Calendar, Reader, and more -- into one easy-to-use interface. Since then, we've streamlined the interface even further."

There is a distinction between Google "Apps" and Google "Applications". "Apps" are Google's Hosted/Domain service. Applications are GMail, Calendar, Picasa etc.
