iGoogle's customized version for iPhone's Mobile Safari is gone: iGoogle is a way to create a set of widgets and other items from Google that display for you on a login page. The iPhone and Android version was better formatted for the WebKit-based browser found in both phones. Now, it's gone. The folks at Download Squad got a tepid answer from a Google product manager, who said they wanted to offer the same (apparently bad) mobile experience to all phone users. Which is a bit silly given that Apple now has a huge share of the smartphone market and the No. 2 competitor, Research in Motion has a crummy browser in its BlackBerrys. Ah, well; easy come, easy go.
