Google… I Don’t Get It…

The blogosphere has been widely reporting the fact that Google now has optimized the search results delivered to the iPhone even more.

That means that when using Google on the iPhone or the iPod Touch results will be returned in an easy-to-read optimized manner.

Nothing new here. Google has been increasingly working toward making all of their services and features fully available and optimized on the iPhone and the iPod Touch. I love the fact that when I go Google on the iPhone I’m offered a rich experience of being able to choose from either Google’s search feature, calendar, reader, or even more. Fact is, as much excitement as there has been with regard to the first Android-based phone, the G1, with the many offerings that work so well on the iPhone one could make an argument that the first "Google phone" is actually from Apple.

So Google improve the quality of the results that a return to the iPhone. That’s great. Here’s what I don’t get…

When I go to the Google application that is available for download from the App Store and I type in the same query as I did in their web-based application I get these results…

That’s right, the search results may be optimized for the iPhone on their web application but their resident application yields the same, hard to read, results as before.

If I’m missing something would somebody please let me know what it is?

Because frankly, I don’t get it.
