google-mobile-app-for-blackberry.jpgCalling all BlackBerry users: The new Google Mobile App offers faster searches and quick access to Gmail, Maps, News and other Google services. Here’s a complete rundown of the app’s acumen:

  • Fast Google search  Enter queries without waiting for a browser to load
  • Search history  Easily access and amend your previous queries
  • Google Suggest  Complete queries with less typing
  • Easy access to Google products for your phone  Click once to download and install Google applications for BlackBerry, and get immediate access to Google’s Web-based services
  • Google Apps support  Get direct links to your Google Apps calendar and documents (select Menu, Options, Use Google Apps Domain: yes, and then enter your domain name)
  • Update alerts  Learn about new versions of downloadable Google mobile applications and upgrade with just one click (Google Mobile App replaces Google Updater for BlackBerry)

Can you feel the Google love, BlackBerry fans? Man, my Palm Centro is really starting to feel like a dinosaur. Anyway, to get the new app, just point your device’s browser to m.google.com. For speedier access once it’s installed, assign Google Mobile App to a Convenience Key.
