Google has launched Custom Search for smartphones. This means that if you own a site and add a Google Custom Search box to it, it will format search results to fit the screens of supported mobile devices.
The following devices are supported:
- Android-powered phones
- iPhone
- iPod Touch
- Palm Pre
