Google Unveils New iPhone Interface

Last night I read on TechCrunch that Google had just rolled out an updated version of its applications for iPhone, designed by Joe Hewitt (of the amazing Facebook app for iPhone - one of the few things I’m liking about the site right now), and even though I was inches away from bed, I took a couple minutes to check it out.

It’s fantastic.

There’s really little else to say about it. You get quick access to all of the important stuff - Search, GMail, Reader, Calendar (though for some reason mine is in German!), and the ever-present “More,” which in this case includes Docs, Goog-411, SMS, News, Photos, Blogger, and Notebook. Everything I checked out looks awesome and works beautifully. GMail runs like a dream, and the new(ish) Google Reader interface rocks, too.

With this update, color-coded labels in GMail, group chat and AIM integration, and blah blah blah blah, Google is putting out some major amounts of awesomeness this week. What’s next?
