Mobile Tricks with the Google Mobile App

It turns out we're not the only ones excited about the new Google Mobile App for iPhone and iPod Touch. Adam Pash, of the productivity blog Lifehacker, shows off how he uses the Google Mobile App.


Our friends at Blendtec got a new 3G iPhone and loaded it up with the Google Mobile App... and you can guess what happened next.


Keep your submissions coming! Remember, they should have the Mobile Tricks slides at the beginning and end of the clip, so we can feature them on our Mobile Tricks YouTube channel.

Getting away with Mobile Tricks

Posted by Effie Seiberg, Mobile Trickster

We've got some exciting submissions on Mobile Tricks, our new YouTube channel celebrating everything that can be done with a mobile phone. Today's theme is "getting away."

You can get away from that annoying guy who keeps trying to friend you on MySpace (from the comedy group The Vacationeers)...



...get away with a good deal (thanks to Jenny Hsieh, a student at Art Center)...



... or even get away with a pretty cool magic trick (courtesy of Marco Tempest, the Virtual Magician).



Can you figure out how he did it? Look for the reveal -- and more great videos -- next week.

Introducing Mobile Tricks, our new YouTube channel for cell phone enthusiasts

Posted by Effie Seiberg, Mobile Trickster

Mobile phones are awesome. I use mine all the time, from using it as a flashlight to find my keys, to a calendar to see just how late I am for an appointment. But people do much more interesting things than that with phones nowadays. And so the Google mobile team poses the question to you: what can you do with your phone?



Upload your best tip or trick to YouTube on our brand new Mobile Tricks channel. We'll post all the ones we like to our playlists for the world to see in one centralized space, and will be blogging about our favorites here every so often. Be it a useful tip on how to use your phone to get internet access on your computer or a fun trick like juggling a phone and two rubber chickens, we want to see what you've got!

To get you started, our friend Dave Stone at the Advertising Program at Art Center saves us from aliens and our friends at Blendtec do what they do best. More great videos next week!
