I really love the folks over in Mountain View.
Less than a month after releasing the slick new interface us iPhone users have access to when on Google.com, they have done it again, offering an updated set of features when visiting the site from an iPhone. The new features include customizable tabs (awesome) and increased speeds for gmail (always appreciated).
MacWorld offers a nice, and brief (I wonder if they are busy with something else) write up on the update.
A month after it launched a customized Web portal for iPhone users, Google is introducing a new version that further integrates the company's offerings into Apple's popular phone. It will be on display at this week's Macworld Expo in San Francisco, and available to anyone who uses the iPhone.
It really is like Chanukah all over again for me, each day just gets better and better!:D

The services are accessed simply by directing the iPhone's Safari Web browser to Google's home page. Previously, iPhone users had access to special versions of google Search, Gmail, Calendar, Reader and other services working from a unified interface on iPhone's Safari.
On Monday, Google announced that it has further streamlined the interface, tweaking it both for speed and usability. Users can also customize Google applications on tabs in the Google.com menu bar; you can select what Google app you'd like to use by bringing it to the front menu. The tab customization includes Gmail, Calendar, Reader, Docs and Picasa accounts.
Gmail is now faster, and features "auto-complete" that will automatically fill in the contacts field of e-mails. The calendar now features a Month view. Google users can also access "iGoogle" gadgets -- mini-applications that show you weather, stock info, news feeds and other content.
