With Google Wireless WebSearch, your users can search not just the "Mobile Web" of 5 million pages created specifically for wireless devices, but the entire World Wide Web. No other search engine provides this service. Only Google's proprietary on-the-fly conversion system translates web pages into a language your phone understands, so users can access the world's largest index of web pages (more than 8 billion pages) and view the content from their mobile phones. Google Wireless works on the following phones: WAP, WAP 2.0, i-mode.

Google Wireless Search Advantages
• Search the Web via Google's unique on-the-fly translation system
• Search the mobile web (formatted for WAP devices)
• Award-winning PageRank technology for relevant search results
• Quick response time for every search
• Google Number Search (GNS) to simplify input of search queries and minimize button pushing (for WAP devices)
• International adaptability in numerous languages

Did any one try it?

I don't have a WAP device. What such devices are out there?

cvrk3 · 12-26-2004, 07:46 PM

i feel any mobile with a wap facility should do it! I too do not have one!

I have a WAP device, but I never use it (too expensive). So no, I haven't tried it out.

i tried it...well it's not bad though, but i don't really need wireless (like WAP/GPRS) service, so wireless google doesn't bother me to much

I just got a Dell Axim x30 Wifi Pocket PC. Google.com redirects me to http://www.google.com/palm which is faster, smaller and shows only 5 search results each time. Full Google also works, but it's hard to use on the small screen. It's not on a phone - it's a Pocket PC - but this is Google wireless for me

Sounds really good.

Too bad i can't try it, because i don't have a pocket PC, not even have money...

Havent tried it yet but like tokkolo says it's just to expensive to use WAP even tough the prices are droping slowly.

Pretty much any verizon wireless phone has wap, and google works incredibly on my lg 6100. I have even been using http://gmailwireless.com/ to check my gmail acct on the go!
