Google & iPhone on top of mobile search?

Google revealed last Wednesday that they had discovered that there are 50 times more mobile searches on their search engine coming from Apple iPhones than any other handsets. Vic Gundotra, head of Google’s mobile operations told the Financial Times, "We thought it was a mistake and made our engineers check the logs again!"

This could partly be because of the iPhone's great internet browsing capabilities or maybe just because of  it's great display, but how happy must Google be? One of the most popular handsets in the world and most people using them are using their search engine!

How will this affect the mobile search market? Well, it would seem that the iPhone could possibly be the best vessel for mobile surfing and if iPhone users are choosing Google, how does that reflect in the international mobile search market?

Gundotra also said: "We want every phone to be a Google phone," he said. "We are ultimately talking about thousands of devices. The best way to do this would be to get Google’s mobile operating system, Android, deployed on as many types of handsets as possible."
