Google Wireless - Search away from homeWritten by Jakob Jelling
Continued from page 1 Wireless, you will need access to Internet through your wireless device. This can usually be arranged through your cellular carrier if you don't already have it. You can search "mobile web", which is a collection of web pages that have been designed specifically for wireless devices. With Google Wireless search, you can also search all of Google, and search results will be translated into a type of display language that your mobile device can interpret. On a cell phone, searches are performed using keypad on phone and GNS, or Google Number Search. This is a form of search input that Google has developed to help make your wireless searches easier and faster. On PDAs, you can use built-in keyboard or touch-screen keyboard. For Palm VII, you will need to download special software to access Google Wireless search.

| | Beyond the box with Google's Web APIWritten by Jakob Jelling
Continued from page 1
You must be very aware of Google Web API Terms of Service. You must obtain a developer key that you will include in each API use, you are allowed only 1,000 automated queries per day, and perhaps most important, you may not use Google API for commercial purposes. It is only for your personal use, and you of course may not violate any laws or copyright protection. Google provides a developer's kit to help you get started. Data is interchanged between Google and application program using an XML structure, so results from Google should be relatively easy to parse even for only moderately experienced developers. If you have problems or questions, Google offers Getting Help, Reference and FAQ links, and you will find help and discussions on any of several forums should you need more help. Just search Google - from search box!
