Enhancements to Google News for smartphones
Monday, November 8, 2010
Posted by Arun Prasath, Tech Lead, Google Mobile News
Last November
, we redesigned
Google News
for mobile access on smartphones including Android, iPhone and Palm Pre. Today, we're
globally
rolling out new usability and visual enhancements that we hope will make browsing news on your smartphone easier.
We expanded the story space to make tapping on articles easier and more accurate. Tapping anywhere on an article headline or snippet opens it up, and clicking on a section heading opens up that topic section on your screen.
In addition, the default view of stories is now collapsed which reduces scrolling time. You can 'expand' a story by tapping on 'More sources', which brings you to related stories from other sources. The screenshots below show the collapsed and expanded view of a story.

So, pick up your smartphone, point your browser to

, and catch up on news on the go.
