New Google service searches sites designed for mobile devices

Google mobile

So of course Google SMS search delivers regular search results to your cellphone in text-based format, but the new service they've just rolled out delivers search results specifically from websites formatted for mobile devices. This means that the results you get back from your searches will actually be viewable on your cellphone or handheld in a way that isn't almost completely useless. It should also prove to be an interesting method for discovering which sites have specifically formatted mobile versions, perhaps even enabling some actual surfing on your cellphone without tears. To use it, just go to Google's regular home page, enter your query and choose "Mobile Web (Beta)" (beta is the new black, you know) as your search option. Also, at least so far, it's ad free.
