Google announced that a new iPad-friendly version of Google Mobile App is now available in the App Store worldwide. By “iPad-friendly”, Google means that this new version has been designed to show neatly on the iPad’s screen, and that the usual features of Google Mobile App for iPhone, like search by voice and My Location, work well. From the Apps tab, you can also easily navigate to Google’s web-based apps, such as Gmail, which was recently optimized for iPad.

While this first version of Google Mobile App for iPad is essentially the same app they’ve built for iPhone, Google is working on improving Google Mobile App so that it takes advantage of iPad’s features.  Google isn’t standing still in mobile and they are pushing the envelope on all fronts.  Most notably the open approach verses Apple’s closed approach.

To download Google Mobile App to your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch (requires OS 3.0 or higher), search for “Google Mobile App” in the App Store or just visit http://itunes.com/app/googlemobileapp.
