SAN FRANCISCO: The worldÂ’s most viewed search engine, Google Inc. today said it will offer mobile phone users a personalized version of the Google home page tailored to work on most recently introduced mobile phones. The Google Personalized Home page for mobile phones will allow consumers to conduct Web searches and check Gmail, news headlines, local weather reports or a list of stock prices -- all from one central page on their phones. Google is racing with Internet rivals such as Yahoo, Microsoft, America Online and InfoSpace to extend the information services they already offer on computers to the browsers of mobile phones.
