New Interface for Google Mobile Search
Google's mobile homepage and search results pages have a new interface. The homepage only links to Google Image Search and you have to tap a button to find all the other Google services. The idea is reminiscent of the "hidden" navigation menu (http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2011/11/googles-hidden-navigation-menu.html) launched last year and quickly replaced by the black bar (http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2012/01/googles-black-navigation-bar-is-back.html).
Search results pages don't include the menu, so you can ** longer open Gmail from a search page and you have to go back to the Google homepage first. The search box has been shrinked, there's a bigger Google logo and the links to specialized search engines are displayed below the search box, just like in the tablet interface.
