Switched to iGoofle about a month ago and love having my Google bookmarks acessible from my homepage from any computer. It stinks that can’t get to them from my iPhone as I completely stopped bookmarking in IE, Firefox and safari Maybe Google plans to enhance the Google iPhone App instead?

Googles spat its dummy out and of course will favour the G1, it seems the iphone and other mobile users have just had 1 stuck up them from google.

another example of the to pdog rules and everyone has to follow.

This blows big time. My igoogle.com page is totally useless now. I can’t switch between tabs and only about 5%-10% of my content actually shows up. I was just using this like an RSS reader, but now that’s totally broken. Thanks google!

Awwwww…. Google doesn’t want to play in your Apple sandbox anymore ?

Too bad… get out of the sandbox and go play on the beach with the big boys and girls.

This stinks. This was my home page on my iPhone (at least it would be if iPhones had a home page). Now my iPhone’s version looks the same as my daughter’s WAP browser version. Nice way to lower the bar, Google.

Yahoo! is way better. Never used Google (except to advertise).

I've made extensive use of the iPhone-optimised Google homepage. I now have a mobile version which gives me access to about 9 threads (instead of the 200 or so I actually have), and the 'classic' view shows something like my traditional nonmobile homepage, but without any content and without the ability to navigate my tabs.

This is a glorious cock-up by Google, betraying just how like Microsoft they've become in their disregard of customers. It's a huge own-goal, no doubt driven by a desire to benefit their own Android OS (which I note they've managed to similarly damage in this act! Doh!).

So, we won't ask customers, we won't test the changes to ensure they deliver any degree of functionality, we'll simply disable what works and replace it with something that doesn't work and is intended to deliver significantly less functionality.

Geez, whatever happened to Google? They used to be so cool...

Forget iPhone! The all new Palm Pre is here. Armed with features that may simply wipe out iPhone from the marked. Check out pics, review, and video at http://raarooree.blogspot.com/2009/01/forget-iphone-palm-pre-is-here.html

Big-big minus, Google…

I used it before, but it became useless. Does not accept setting changes, and changed my iGoogle settings from original to a useless one. Big-big minus, Google…

@russel_h: Clarified: Gmail inside iGoogle, not as a separate site.

@K.James: in effect now, no more /i site for iPhone, now only the /m generic mobile site.

When does this go in effect because my iPhone still shows the ‘ iGoogle ‘ webpage.

iPhone gmail still works too. And I hear iGoogle is broken on Android too (confirmed in the linked thread). So I'm not really sure what that's supposed to be about.

Although I'm pretty annoyed about iGoogle, it's totally useless now. Looking for a new feed reader, but can't seem to find any good ones.
