Install How do I use this?

This is a newer version of "Better Google for iPhone" script, originally created by Eugene Schava. Since Eugene currently doesn't have enough time to maintain it, this script was created as its continuation.

---

Google has special mobile view for its services when you open them using iPhone (or at least using iPhone user-agent). Also you can use special URLs to enable iPhone-like view of services.
It's pretty convenient for any mobile device with touch screen but there is a lot of places where services are optimized for iPhone screen resolution.

This script is intended to fix such issues to make services looking good at all devices. I use it for Nokia N810.

To emulate iPhone you have to use iPhone's user-agent or (better) use special URLs for services.

URLs of services:
GMail: http://mail.google.com/mail/x/gdlakb-/gp/
Google Reader: http://www.google.com/reader/i/

URL for Google Apps for Domain users:
http://www.google.com/m/a/your_domain_name?page=2#gmail
or
http://mail.google.com/a/your_domain_name/x/mog-/gp/

There is also a basic version of this script available, it doesn't scale anything - http://popelo.com/trash/better-google-for-iphon...
