Google Continues March Toward Mobile

Nov 2, 2006, 2:55 PM by (staff)

Google today launched a new application that provides a faster, easier way to access Gmail accounts. The Java application allows users to read their Gmail in an interface similar to the desktop experience. It also provides many of the same options as the desktop client. It is being launched on Sprint, however any user with a Java enabled phone should be able to download the application directly from Google. Gmail's WAP site is also still available for users who cannot or do not wish to run Java applications. Separately, YouTube CEO Chad Hurley recently stated that he expects YouTube to be available to mobile users sometime next year. YouTube was recently purchased by Google.

Youtube is worthless since Google bought it

Youtube is where I would spend a considerable amount of my free time. Whether it was music videos, adult swim cartoons that I had missed, Daily show clips, or Keith Olbermann's commentary, I was thouroughly entertained. Since Google, an public stock company, bought it out, copyright infringements came about. Most TV show clips have been removed, a lot of news casts are taken off, and many music videos have been taken off. It is fun if I want to watch some teens skateboarding into a bus, or see some redneck with a webcam tell me what he thinks of the war. Unfortunately, it has become nothing but trite
