Google Mobile on the Move

Ok, this is a perfect example of when being simple is better, Keep It Simple Stupid (KISS)
Google mobile search engine just got upgrade, a little more personal then before.
You can add Weather, News, Stock Quotes and more.
In regards to the interface and features, I think I would have designed a mobile search engine very much the same.
The only thing I don’t like, and can’t understand why they continue doing this. WHY include non-mobile formatted sites within mobile search. This time around they did include a lil green mobile phone icon so mobile internet user are able to quickly identify which pages are mobile and which are not. Thank you! That’s a great step forward.
I really anticipate mobile search/marketing to be gigantic. Think about it, I’ll bet that there is almost double the amount of mobile users then computer users. Then also note, majority of these people never turn off their phone. A marketer will have a greater chance of getting there advertisement in front a potential buyer.

For example spammers place the craziest crap in the subject of their email just to get you to open the email. In most cases advertisement delivered via SMS is displayed on primary screen of your mobile browser. Many mobile phones make you acknowledge the SMS before moving onto another screen.
Mobile Search is going to be a monster.
