Google Announces iPhone Application Integrator

Wednesday, December 5th, 2007 at 12:40 PM - by

Google announced the release of its iPhone Web application Integrator on Wednesday. The new Google app integrates its multiple services into a single interface that makes it easy for Apple iPhone users to use and switch between Gmail, Search, Calendar and more.

"To accomplish this, Google is taking advantage of browser technologies (like AJAX) that made Gmail and Google Maps possible on the desktop. In supporting these advances in web technology, the iPhone's Safari browser not only delivers an excellent mobile Internet experience; it enabled our product and engineering teams to create an optimal Google experience on a mobile device," Google said.

To access the service, iPhone users can simply navigate to www.google.com in Safari.

This is a WEB PAGE, NOT AN APPLICATION! Do companies just expect consumers don't mind being lied to?

It actually is an application; it runs on Google's servers, rather than on the iPhone. That's why it's called a "web application." Perhaps you're not aware of Google's other web applications that can create documents, spreadsheets and presentations online.
