    7 Twitter Clients for Mobile Phones on the go | (5)
    It's hard to find a way to follow all of your Twitter updates without being interrupted by a constant barrage of noise. While it's easy to update your twitter status via SMS, keeping track of your friends on the go would require near-constant text messages. You can subscribe to @ replies, but sometimes you just want to scan through the latest and greatest from the Twitterverse on your phone. I'm hoping for an integrated IM and Twitter application like what Digsby is for the desktop, which seems to be Yahoo OneConnect's goal. Until then, check out these mobile Twitter tools: ...

    New Google Search Plugin for Windows Mobile on the go | (2)
    Google announced a Home Screen Plugin for Windows Mobile that will allow you to perform mobile searches up to 40% faster. This is a great Windows Mobile plugin for quicker access to the mobile web. Basically you type in your query and hit enter or search and your Pocket PC quickly loads Pocket IE and takes you directly to the search results.
