Google unveils personalized homepage for mobile phone users

Google Inc. announced Thursday that it has begun to offer personalized Google homepage to American mobile phone users.

The personalized hompage will allow users to perform web search, check Gmail, read news headlines, local weather forecast and stock price, all in one page.

The company has a plan to offer the personalized homepage to users in other countries within weeks or months, according to Deep Nishar, Director of Wireless Products at Google.

Giving users the ability to find certain type of information by setting their own mobile phones is paramount to the development of mobile Internet, said Charles Golvin, an analyst with Forrester Research.

The fewer clicks it takes to find the information one needs, the more possible the user does it on his mobile phone, said Charles Golvin.
