Katie, you would have noticed by now, that Google aren't flubbing mobile search, they are just flattening it out. As your poll shows, so far, we use Google search on the mobile, in much the same way we use Google search on the desktop.

Of course, they are making the content viewable, which is so important in these early days of multiple standards. That's important!

When Google, Microsoft or Yahoo realize that mobile search is really mobile find, then this space takes off.

4INFO,/a> is making great strides at delivering info on the mobile, but the ability to link directly to a specific site will be the golden goose for mobile.

Google will start to sell LINK Words that allow advertisers to go directly to a specific site.

Combine a LINK word with your location (GPS) and mobile find is complete.

I envision LINK words and GPS coordinates being the new "keywords" for advertising.

I wonder, who will break the carriers' monopoly on content?

I walked away pretty impressed with googles mobile offering. I really have not tried any other offering except live mobile and i felt that google comes away on top.

GMobile does the same nice things that makes the normal google so cool. Search for "Borat" and it gives you showtimes near your area ( assuming you sold your soul and gave them your zip code in the first place ) … Google news mobile also links to articles optimized for mobile devices.

Click on any search result and google resizes the page for your device( Hmm is that a good idea ? ) All in all mobile search has lots of cool possibilities, But google has got great products out there to build on !

I haven't tried any other search engine from my mobile, but I really appreciate that Google automagically translates most content into a format that's decently readable on a handset.

I feel mobile search is entirely a different planet compared to the web search.

I would hate to scroll through the search results on my mobile, so search should be intellegent enough to "read my mind".
Since the mobile display screen is so small, good enough to display only the search results. The big question is, how Google Adsense can target the mobile user community ?
