Google2Go - ‘unofficial’ Yahoo! Go rival

Hmm. We can’t see this one lasting very long

At first glance, Google2Go seems like a Googlized version of Yahoo! Go - Yahoo’s Symbian and Windows Mobile portal app. And it kind of is. Kind of.

Google2Go is in no way an official Google product, and seems to have been knocked together by a fan of the big G who liked the idea of Yahoo! Go, but who prefers the mobile web to be a bit more, y’know, Googly.

The app is fairly well put together, allowing access to many Google services including Gmail, Reader, Google Docs, Picasa and Google Calender. It runs on Windows Mobile 6 ( there are reports of some WinMo 5 phones working too).

We can’t really imagine that Google will suffer this to live - maintaining the brand identity and all that - but it is a reasonable effort and is available as freeware (thank goodness - I hate to think what would happen to the guy if he tried charging for it).
