Search Locally Without Typing with New Google Mobile Tool
9:00AM Adam Pash | Search for local businesses in your area without resorting to your clunky mobile keyboard with the new, quietly unleashed Google Mobile feature found at google.com/m/lcb. When you navigate to the “lcb” page (local businesses?), Google Mobile identifies what city you’re in (or tries to—my test had me in either Columbus, OH [wrong] or Los Angeles [right!]), so all you have to do is click through the business categories to narrow down exactly what you’re looking for. As the ZDNet post points out, the feature would be a lot more useful if it pinpointed your location within the city à la Google Maps on the iPhone, but either way it could come in really handy if you aren’t keen on using your unfriendly mobile keyboard.

Google Updates Their Mobile Interface, Adds iGoogle, Customizable
6:00AM Lifehacker US Edition | Google already released a fast and friendly optimised mobile page for iPhone and iPod touch users, but now they’re at it again. The mobile page is sporting an updated look, faster navigating, and improved auto-complete suggestions for everything from search to Gmail contacts. You can also customise tabs and use your iGoogle homepage from the mobile interface. You may be wondering why Google is so gaga for iPhone interfaces, but the fact is, when Google’s Andriod phones hit the streets, they’ll be running a similar WebKit-based browser, so even if you’re not looking to buy an Apple product anytime soon, this interface may be in your future. galleryPost('Google Mobile for iPhone', 5, ''); Lifehacker photo galleries require Javascript; if you’re viewing this in an RSS reader, click through to view in your Javascript-enabled web browser.
