“But frankly, Google is way ahead of its competitors in terms of innovations and applications. ”

Yes, all of them. Especially Jaiku, Orkut, and the now defunct Lively.

Sidenote, if Google wants Jaiku to do better, just pay CNN 1 million a month to say, “Follow us on Jaiku” instead of Twitter. Since they’re not actually endorsing Jaiku by mentioning it, the FTC won’t care.

I have to comment here about your inlinks.com post above because you turned off comments. My comment is about the fact that you turned off comments. Are you nuts? (Well, yes, that was obvious after I watched your three videos on 1938media.com where you came across as a wild loon) but I don’t understand your logic about turning off comments on that post, depriving yourself of all the longtail traffic. Why can’t you just allow comments w/out commenting yourself? Re-enable comments on that post, there’s something that needs to be said…a lot of things actually.

Only God knows where Google will stop! But frankly, it is way ahead of its competitors in terms of innovations and applications. This is just one of those Google innovations to keep with time and ahead of competitors.

I downloaded and tried it out, and, in a moderately nosy environment (office hallway) it gave random results, but in a quiet environment it worked pretty well.

Michael you know of any good iPhone simulators out there that test more than just resolution, also test actual compatibility.

@kathryn: yep thats it. I’d also imagine google would allows advertisers to target local mobile searches only, there are lots of categories where it would make sense and google would gain customers who wouldn’t normally advertise with them.

so what you’re saying is …….in a few months the first screen hit will show ads after the “adoption” phase?? Makes sense. Very clear post though – easy to understand and hey I can’t pronounce those names for sure!
