Google's all-in-one search application for Windows Mobile phones is a handy sliver of an application that brings Google search, Google mail, maps, and a flurry of Google's other online services to your fingertips. On Windows Mobile phones, Google Mobile App installs as a Home Screen plug-in, from which you'll be able to type a term into the search bar or scroll through icons to launch a Google service on your mobile browser, like Gmail, Picasa Web albums, and Google Docs.

If you don't choose to install the plug-in, or if your phone has a custom screen, you'll be able to open the application from the program menu, add it to your start screen, or map it to a hard key on your phone. Although Google's mobile application for Windows Mobile phones doesn't accept voice search yet and relies on your browser to push you to a Web site instead of pull information to you, the free application is a time-saving convenience that's just right for those who regularly use Google search and Google's online applications. Watch the CNET video review of Google Mobile App (Windows Mobile):

Google Mobile App brings you the premier search experience from Google. Find the information you need quickly and easily, locate nearby businesses and get driving directions, stay connected with Gmail on the go, and synchronize your contacts and calendar with Google.
