Mobile web gets personal Get Microsoft on the go The internet in your pocket

San Francisco - The battle for the devotion of people who use the internet on the go intensified on Tuesday as Google unveiled a new mobile internet search engine.

Google made its new mobile search engine available to the public on the same day that Sunnyvale, California-based rival Yahoo enticed website publishers to enhance the "oneSearch" mobile search engine Yahoo released early this year.

"We're making our new mobile search openly available, so everyone can take it for a spin," Google product manager Yael Shacham wrote in posting on the Mountain View, California-company's website.

"The next time you visit Google.com on your phone, you'll see a link that will take you to a mobile search experience that's more tailored to your needs."

Yahoo said that the Mobile Publisher Services suite of services it launched on Tuesday was "designed to enable publishers to increase the discovery, distribution and monetization of their content on mobile phones".
