Dec 02 AOL are improving their Mobile Searches
Published by root in:Mobile News,

AOL on Thursday introduced a new set of search services for mobile devices that it says will make searching the Web on smaller screens as useful as searching from the desktop. Three services will make up the new service: AOL Search, Pinpoint Shopping and AOL Yellow Pages.Through technology provided by InfoGin, the service formats both the search results and the Web sites visited from those listings to fit the smaller screens of mobile phones, smartphones and PDAs.

AOL says this extends the usefulness of mobile search, as a user will no longer need to be concerned with whether or not a Web site has a mobile-formatted version available. Instead, a user will be able to visit any site as if they were visiting from a desktop computer.

"We are committed to providing people everywhere with easy access to the Web’s full range of information services wherever they may go," AOL Search senior vice president Jim Riesenbach said in prepared remarks.

AOL Mobile Search will be accessible from mobile.aolsearch.com. While the service itself will be free, data usage charges would be carrier dependent, AOL said.

Dec 05 AOL Offers Mobile Search Services
Published by Vesselin Nerdeff in:Mobile News,

To access the services, users need to fire up a browser on their mobile devices and go to mobile.aolsearch.com. There they will have the option of using the AOL Search general Web search engine, its Pinpoint Shopping comparison shopping engine, or its AOL Yellow Pages listing of local businesses.

Users can submit queries using any word or phrase, as in a regular PC-based search engine, as opposed to some mobile search services that require users to use specific keywords and syntax.

Moreover, the AOL system, using technology from InfoGin, ensures that all Web pages a user clicks on from the search results are properly rendered, not just those that have been designed specifically to be displayed on mobile devices.

AOL doesn't charge for the use of the search services, but carriers may apply data-transmission fees.

Apr 04 AOL Offers New Services For Mobile Users
Published by root in:Mobile News,

AOL is offering new information and location services, including an integrated addition to mobile AOL Search suite and a Web-enabled MapQuest service. The company announced the news Monday, saying it represents an expansion of partnerships with Sprint and InfoGin Ltd.

The new service automatically adapts Web pages for Web-enabled wireless customers' screens. AOL uses InfoGin's transcoding and content analysis technologies to extend the ease of desktop search and navigation to wireless devices.

Sprint PCS Vision and Sprint Power Vision subscribers in the United States can access AOL's new portal services through the "portals" category on the Vision home page. The services offer access to enhanced AOL Search, AIM, Buddy List, mail, two-way desktop mobile-to-mobile messaging services, pictures, news, entertainment, sports and weather.

MapQuest improvements pave the way for another soon-to-be-offered feature: Global Positioning Service (GPS) and turn-by-turn, voice-guided directions on mobile phones.

More than 30 percent of adults report wanting to search and browse the Web from their cell phones, while 47 percent say they want mobile maps and driving directions with their next cell phones, according to an Associated Press and Pew Research Center poll released Monday. The poll also showed that 52 percent of adults keep their mobile phones on all day and 40 percent of people ages 18 to 29 plan to drop their landlines.

"We are committed to providing people with easy access to the Web's full range of information, location, and communications services wherever they may go," Eric Engstrom, senior vice president of Products for AOL's wireless group, said in a prepared statement.
