Google Zeros In On Mobile Web

Google Inc. on Thursday started testing a mobile-phone service that searches websites that have been designed to deliver content customized for the small screens of cellular phones, reports TechWeb via Moco News.

To use the Google Mobile Search, people go to the company's homepage via the web browser on their phones, type in their search query and select "Mobile Web (Beta)" as their search option.

Along with the latest service, Google's other mobile features include the ability to search for images and the general web and for products and services offered locally. Google also offers a text-based messaging service.
