Google observes surge in Internet use on mobile phones
TT Bureau |  |  20 Mar 2008

Google has seen a surge in Internet activity among mobile phone users after the company launched faster Web services on limited phone models. Google said that due to the services offered on Blackberry email phones, Nokia devices for multimedia picture and video creators and business professionals and Apple iPhone, the use of Internet on mobile phones has increased rapidly.

 

Matt Waddell, a product manager for Google Mobile said “We have very much hit a watershed moment in terms of mobile Internet usage. We are seeing that mobile Internet use is in fact accelerating.”

 

Google also said that it’s because of flat-rate data plans from phone operators which have encouraged the use of Internet. Also it’s because of improved Web browser as well as better-designed services from many companies.

 

Google has launched a new software download for mobile phones running Microsoft Corp’s Windows Mobile software that easily positions a Google Web search window on the home screen of such phones.

 

Waddell further said “We are actually seeing a 20 percent increase in the number of searches by people. Faster is better than slow, especially on a mobile device, where fast is much better than slow. Not only are we are seeing increased user satisfaction but also greater usage.”
