I thought the Google Mobile application was already supported on Windows Mobile, but I stand corrected. It is now supported, however. Google released the software yesterday, and you can download the .CAB file at http:/m.google.com/search on your WinMo handheld. The software will take up some of your Today screen, so if you’re a miser on screen real estate, this might not be for you.
For those willing to sacrifice a few pixels, you’ll have quick access to Google searches, for starters. Results from your search will appear in your default browser. Also included in the app are shortcuts to Gmail, Google Calendar and Maps. I suspect many Windows Mobile users stick with the native mail and calendar apps as opposed to Google apps the web, so maybe this isn’t a huge seller. Google says you can assign a hardware button to the application and also add support for Google Apps for Domains if you use that service. The commentary on Google’s announcement seems less than stellar, so caveat emptor. Actually, you can’t buy a free app, so “let the buyer beware” should really just read “beware”. ;)
