Hot Google Tips

Google Maps for Mobile Devices.Ed Hansberry at Pocket PC Thoughts has written a lovely article on Tons of Uses for Google on Your Device. Some highlights include:

  1. The Google Optimizer (http://www.google.com/gwt/n), which will take a web page and reduce its size so that it will fit better on your screen and download faster;

  2. Gmail for Mobile Devices (http://m.gmail.com), which cuts out a lot of the page elements you don't need, skipping straight to the good stuff;

  3. Froogle for Mobile Devices (http://wml.froogle.com), which shows prices but doesn't actually contain links so you can buy any of the stuff;

  4. Google Maps, specially formatted for your PDA;

  5. Personalized Home Page, also formatted for your PDA;

  6. And don't forget what Google does best, search. There are a number of ways to use Google search on your mobile device, depending on what kind of results you want.

Although, to use Blogger directly (instead of just e-mailing to Blogger Mobile), you might have better luck with one of these freeware programs: PocketBlog or PocketBlogger.
