Google SMS = Google Mobile Search? What's the point for 3mobile partnership if Google SMS was already released?	By Bogdan Popa, Security and Search Engines Editor 16th of November 2006, 13:55 GMT Adjust text size:


If you have already heard about Google SMS and, in the morning, you've read the news about Google and 3mobile partnership, then you're probably asking yourself what's the sense of this agreement if the company was already using a mobile search. In the next few lines, I will present every service to help you better understand the purpose of these two products. First of all, "Google SMS is a service that enables you to search for certain kinds of information with Google from a mobile device (such as a Blackberry), and returns your search results as text messages. With Google SMS, you can get phone book listings, movie showtimes, weather, facts, dictionary definitions, product prices, and more," as Google says. "Google doesn't currently charge users to send a query or to receive results, but your mobile provider's standard rates for sending and receiving text messages still apply," they added. Then, the agreement between Google and 3mobile was made to allow customers to use the Google Search directly from their mobile devices, but the results will be displayed on the screen of the handheld, not as a SMS as Google SMS does. "It's another key step for 3 in delivering a fully mobile internet. The mobile internet has now developed to such a degree that we can now leave the 'walled garden' behind and let our customers access and enjoy the very best of what the converged internet and media worlds can offer," Christian Salbaing, managing director of European telecommunications at 3 Group, sustained.
