Literally, the Art of Technology. - Scottish, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6FTA: "Today, the company announced on its blog that their new and improved mobile search is now available to the public after several weeks of private testing."
- altcountryman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4FTFA: "Perhaps one day the app will be able to use GPS from our phones to automatically detect where we are instead of requiring us to ever enter our locations. After all, Google appears to have a patent for a system that could do all of that and more, predicting what our search queries will be based on auto-detected location and time of day. But in the meantime, these improvements make it clear that Google is committed to providing a good web experience to cell phone users by taking their usage habits and immediate needs into consideration."
So, speaking as someone who *read* the article, I'd say the answer to your question is, "No." - aldomatic, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4yea i tend to see several .edu spammed sites on the first page on some competitive keywords

- insomnislacker, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Anyone compared this to the oneSearch thing release by Yahoo recently?
I tried two searches in both:
"300" (meaning the movie.. but I wanted to see what it came up with)
Google Mobile Search: Web pages only (wikipedia links, and "300 the movie" website)
Yahoo oneSearch: Movie links and local theater times, news, flickr photos, webpages (in approx. that order)
"Pizza"
Google Mobile Search: Local pizza places, webpages
Yahoo oneSearch: Local pizza places (with ratings), business categories, flickr photos, webpages, news
Both services prompt for a location if you haven't previously provided it.
Both are equally fast on my phone.
Both serve tiny text ads
I personally don't think Google did as good of a job on this as they could have. Bit disappointed. Using my tiny cellphone screen for viewing webpages (even if they are "reduced" for my phone) is something I almost never do. I care more about how to find the smog station closest to me that won't rip me off. - mapkinase, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1Does it recognize ZIP code if I have GPS device attached?
