The only problem that I have with the Google Mobile app is that it spawns a new browser window instead of using the one already available and that can be irksome. I've found that by using the app it's spawned about 3 to 4 browsers. Now, you would think that is not such a big deal. Moving between the windows is simple enough but, and this could be a coincidence, I noticed that multiple windows seems to drain my battery on my iPhone. I have a browser window, it's usually set to Google so why no use it instead of spawning a whole new one?
I've found a new an interesting app, I'm sure that most people have found this free app, it's called Pandora. They have a web app and a mobile app. I actually like both the music on the web app is pretty good quality. The same goes for the mobile app. Basically, you create a station by searching for an artist or song title. It'll play either one first and then all related music to that artist or song title. The only problem I have with the mobile app is, unlike the iPod within the iPhone, that you can't play music from Pandora and then go to and use another app. As soon as you hit the Home button on the phone to display all your apps the music stops. If you receive and decide to reply to an SMS, it will stop the music. I don't care for that. But I do like the idea of Pandora because it means I don't have sync as many songs to my phone if I don't want to. Overall, it can help me save space on my phone for other applications. I'm going back home to San Diego for Christmas and the prospect of renting and downloading a movie to watch on the long flight on my iPhone is just what I wanted. Since I could only afford the 8 Gb iPhone I have to conserve space as much as possible. Pandora really fits in with that aspect of my digital life.
