Google Inc., developer of the award-winning Google search engine, and Palm, Inc. (Nasdaq:PALM), the world's leading provider of handheld computers, today announced that the Google search engine is featured in the new MyPalm(TM) portal. This agreement enables MyPalm users with a wirelessly enabled Palm(TM) handheld to search the web with Google's fast, highly relevant search engine technology.
The MyPalm portal is designed to help make the handheld computing experience more fun and productive. The MyPalm portal enables users to wirelessly access personalized information without relying on traditional desktop-to-handheld synchronization technology.
Google's easy-to-use search technology enables MyPalm users to search wirelessly for content on the Internet. Google automatically breaks up the search results into several smaller pages to offer increased performance and to conserve bandwidth. When a user clicks on a search result, the corresponding web page is automatically converted into a format that is optimized for viewing on Palm handhelds. Google's award-winning search engine is the largest in the world and enables users to search more than 1.2 billion web pages while on the go.
"Google's search engine offers our users one of the most comprehensive, easy-to-use wireless search experiences available today," said Frances Hoge, vice president, content and marketing for Content and Access, of Palm, Inc. "Coupled with our innovative content translation technology, Palm handheld users can now quickly access and navigate the web-based information they want."
"Both Palm and Google view information search and retrieval as a critical component of the mobile online experience," said Sergey Brin, Google president and co-founder. "The combination of Google and the MyPalm portal provides quick access to the world's knowledge from your shirt pocket."
