Google launches Google Mobile App for BlackBerry

You Google-loving BlackBerry users have a new app to install on your handset as Google has officially launched its Google Mobile App for BlackBerry. More or less an aggregator/launcher, the app bundles Google search together with Google’s other BlackBerry apps and its online mobile services. Integrated within a single interface is Google Mail for BlackBerry, Google Maps for BlackBerry, and Google Sync for BlackBerry. If you setup your Google username and password, you can also get one-click access to Google News, Google Reader, Google Calendar, Google Docs, Picasa Web albums and Google notebook. Finally, no more annoying login screens (yay!) which may be the most compelling reason to download this simple launcher masquerading as a full fledged app.

    I’ve seen this mentioned on 12 blogs now, but that link (m.google.com) does not take me to a Blackberry download. What’s up with that?

    I have it loaded. Not sure if I like having gmail and gmap an additional click away from the top screen—though it is a nice interface.

    Sounds like Google is giving us more stuff for our phones to keep them top of mind for when android comes up.

    Well, Mikeymike, you don’t have to worry.

    I live in the UK & we have had the Bold for a few weeks now. I tried to download it from my phone & got the message “Sorry, Google Mobile App does not work on your BlackBerry 9000″

    Shit.

    I am also in the UK and go the same “Sorry, Google Mobile App does not work on your BlackBerry 8800.” Seems to be a fairly limited release.

    Can I use the Google Mobile App for Blackberry through a wifi connection? Or does it always run through a network data connection?
