Google Mobile gets pushy on iPhone
Google has released a few updates to its Google Mobile App which are now available for iPhone.
“Ever missed an appointment or important email because you were away from your desk?” asks Google.
“Now Google Mobile App can help with push notifications from your Google account to your iPhone -- an icon badge shows you’ve got new mail in Gmail, and Google Calendar event reminders appear right on your home screen.”
The firm has also made some enhancements to search results. “When looking for flight info, weather, stock quotes or currency conversion you’ll see answers before you even hit ‘Search’,” says the latest Google Mobile blog.
The new Google Mobile App is available now from the App Store.
