Google Mobile Apps for Windows Mobile

Google have released a version of the popular Google Mobile Apps for Windows Mobile phones. Beeing a Windows Mobile user myself, I found opening the browser for every Google search I needed kind a frustrating. The Google Mobile Apps for Windows Mobile puts a Google search shortcut and other cutomizable Google service shortcuts on your today screen.

I have not tried this application on other Windows Mobile phones except for the HTC Touch Diamond but Google Mobile Apps were not much of a use. When I tap in to the search box in order to write something, I was not able to do it because I have no keyboard on the Diamond and the keyboard icon does not appear as you can see on the picture on the right.  The other thing is if you have the TouchFlo 3D activated on the today screen, you will not be able to see the Google Mobile Apps addon on your home screen. Well for me this makes this application a bit useless. Just the fact that the TouchFlo 3D Internet -> Launch Browser gives me the Google Search box, although not the fastest way to do a search, seems quite a good choice rather then having the NO TouchFlo 3D and the semi useless Google Mobile Apps on the today screen.

I must say that this is the case with the no physical keyboard phones like the HTC Touch Diamond and other phones with TouchFlo 3D. Some might find this application useful especially mobile phones with older version of Windows Mobile.
