Google’s New iPhone interface – pushing the limits of mobile browsing

Posted by: Jeff VanDrimmelen In: Google| Mobile| Student Tools| Teacher Tools

I have obviously always been a fan of Google, but the work they are doing in the mobile device arena is just awesome, particularly with the iPhone.  This morning they announced a new interface that includes interfaces for the calendar, gmail, reader, docs, photo’s, news, and notebook. 

I also have all of these features on my blackberry and love them.  Most of them are just links to online sources, but they are still awesome. 

As this becomes more prevalent, students are going to be using these tools and maybe we can move beyond the simple text messaging population to a population that actually harnesses the power of the mobile web. 

What do you think?  Will this type of technology ever become part of education, if so, how long?
