Google News updated for mobile devices

Newer generation mobile phones might have capable web browsers but web services tend to make specialized editions for them still.

Google is one such company which usually has a mobile optimized version for most of their services.

The search engine giant has now updated their Google News service to feature a special mobile edition.

This mobile edition is optimized for the new generation mobile web browsers in devices like Google Android, Apple iPhone and Palm Pre.

Google spoke about this new feature in a blog post:

This new version provides the same richness and personalization on your phone as Google News provides on desktop. Our new homepage displays more stories, sources, and images while keeping a familiar look and feel. Also, you can now reach your favorite sections, discover new ones, find articles and play videos in fewer clicks. If you are an existing Google News reader on desktop, you will find that all of your personalizations are honored in this mobile version too.
