When none of your friends are members, you cannot profit. So it depends on how the people will react to Google's new Hype-Service.</p> Well the application is quite crazy, but only if a lot of people will use it.

Not because I don't want to, but because I never think of it and, like you said, I already have Google Search on Safari so why switch to another app? That big G icon is just sitting there taking up space.</p> @Maniacfive: I installed the Google app the day it hit the App Store and STILL haven't even tried it.

I'm with Steve ^</p> <p>I'm not taking the piss here, but what is the point of the google mobile app?
