Without explanation, Google has dropped the iGoogle app for the iPhone.
www.google.com/ig/i now diverts iPhone users to
www.google.com/m/ig.
In a thread on the Google support Web site, a
Google employee writes about the company's efforts to direct visitors to the main iGoogle page rather than the iPhone-specific app.
The employee states that Google wants all smartphone users to have the same version. Last year, however, Google released a
video showing how the iPhone app would make iGoogle convenient on the device.
The version unique to the iPhone was formatted for the Mobile Safari browser.
