Google streamlines Apps interface for iPhones

Google Apps for iPhones


Google has produced a new, generalized iPhone interface for its Google Apps suite of web applications. Whereas iPhone/iPod touch owners have previously had to bookmark pages such as Gmail, Calendar and Docs separately, or visit from the central Google homepage, a single link now unites all three in a form fitted to the iPhone's screen and interface. Users simply tap a button to switch between applications as necessary.

To access the new interface, people should visit "http://www.google.com/m/a/your-domain.com" in Safari, where "your-domain.com" is replaced with a user's actual account domain. The new interface is currently only available for the English-language version of the Apps website.

    bad formatting

    Unfortunately the new interface seems to currently have some problems fitting the iPhone screen properly. The Mail section only fits landscape mode on the iPhone. It doesn't seem to readjust when you hold the iPhone upright in standard view.

    Isn't working

    Just tried. Logging in is fine, but trying to use anything other than Google Search gives you a server error and a message which says, "Sorry, you've reached a login page for a domain that isn't using Google Apps. Please check the web address and try again."

    Native App

    I'd prefer Google spend most of it's time working on a native app instead of one based on the web.
