\BANGALORE, INDIA: Search engine giant, Google announced that it has optimized few services and introduced apps for the recently launched Apple iPad.

Google released an experimental user interface, with two-pane view for list of conversations and messages, for the iPad built on the Gmail for mobile HTML5 web app.

This interface was launched last year for the iPhone and Android devices.

“ Tablets like the iPad give us even more room to innovate,” said a blog post by Punit Soni, product manager, Google Mobile.

The blog further said that the iPad user would see something different of Gmail than what is seen on the desktop.

“ We’ve evaluated the behavior of each Google web app using the iPad Simulator, and we are serving the interface we feel works best. If you’d like any help using our products on iPad, please click the 'Help' link within the product,” wrote Soni.

iPad would also feature various other apps of Google, such as YouTube, Maps, search by voice and My Location. These can be downloaded at the App store.

Another blog post by Alastair Tse, Software Engineer at the Google Mobile website said, “ While this first version of Google Mobile App for iPad is essentially the same app we’ve built for iPhone, we’re working on improving Google Mobile App so that it takes advantage of iPad’s features.”
