Google Releases iPhone-Friendly Versions of Its Pages and Services

by Terrence O'Brien, posted Dec 6th 2007 at 2:21PM

Google aficionados who are lucky enough (or dumb enough, depending on your perspective) to own an iPhone can finally stop complaining about uneven functionality with that search giant's apps: In addition to releasing yesterday's Gmail upgrade, the company created an iPhone-specific version of its home page and related services. The new page offers easy-to-access tabs for many Google services, including calendar, Gmail, Docs, etc. -- all with interfaces specifically designed for use on the iPhone's smaller screen, of course.

The search box even got an upgrade. Now, in an effort to save you some time trying to type out search terms on the cramped touch-screen keyboard, the Google search page will offer search suggestions as you type.

Cell Phone Program Teaches Cooking

by Ryan Rayhill, posted Oct 2nd 2007 at 4:11PM

Are you a terrible cook? Tired of calling your mom for help every time you burn the main course? So was Israeli student Igor Ginzburg.

Tired of pizza and Taco Bell (though we aren't sure how that is possible), Ginzburg devised a cooking program for mobile phones called Chefi that alleviates the need to call mom for cooking tips.

Just tell Chefi what you are making and the program tells you everything you need. It even advises you on other dishes that may go with your meal. Chefi is voice activated so you don't need to touch the phone with your greasy mitts while you cook -- it also waits for your voice commands before moving ahead with the instructions.

While Chefi has yet to hit the mass market, Ginzburg hopes that users with their own recipes will ultimately upload recipes to a website that all Chefi users will be able to use with the cell phone application.
