iPhone application launched by Google.

Today, Google announced the release of a new iPhone application that integrates its multiple services into a single user interface.

This will make it easy for iPhone users to find, use and switch between Google search, Gmail, Calendar, Reader, and other google applications. To use the application, iPhone users simply point their web browser to http://www.google.com.

Google is taking advantage of browser technologies such as AJAX that make possible to display Gmail and Google Maps 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." states google.

A recent example of the new techologies is the My Location function of Google Maps (http://google.com/gmm/mylocation.html), a Google Maps for mobile feature that shows users their location directly on the map with or without GPS.
