Google announced the launch of an improved beta version its iGoogle personalized mobile web portal for iPhone and Android smartphones, promising a faster and easier-to-use experience that supports tabs as well as an expanded selection of Google Gadgets content and media features, including many created by third-party developers (although Google notes that some gadgets--e.g, those with Flash--will not work in mobile browsers). "One of our favorite new features is the in-line display of articles for feed-based gadgets," write Google software engineers Dan Zivkovic and Zhen Wang on the Official Google Mobile Blog. "That means you can read article summaries without leaving the page. You can also rearrange gadget order or keep your favorite gadgets open for your next visit. None of these changes will mess up the layout of gadgets on your desktop computer, so feel free to play around and tune your mobile experience." The new version of iGoogle for mobile is available in 38 languages.
