Mobile Search Wars

not too long ago Google became the default home page for T mobile

Business 2.0 recently posted an article about the looming mobile search wars:

And that's just a fraction of the overall mobile search market. Providing instantaneous answers to a wide range of queries is what will make mobile search invaluable. And whoever figures that out is golden.
