Vodafone today announced that it is collaborating with Google to develop innovative mobile search services for its customers. Vodafone will integrate Google's search capability into its consumer service, Vodafone live!

Vodafone's integration of Google search will take the mobile internet to a new level. Vodafone live! was the first mobile service to make data services easily accessible to mobile customers. Whether checking the weather, looking for a restaurant or getting the most up-to-date news, consumers want search services that meet their everyday needs.

Alan Harper, Group Strategy Director, Vodafone, said:

"Innovative mobile search will become increasingly important as fast and easy access to information and services are increasingly demanded by customers on the move. Together, Vodafone and Google will focus on creating the best mobile search service in the market, helping to bring the mobile internet to life. Our customers will be able to find relevant information and services faster, making the Vodafone live! customer experience even better. Our intention is to develop our relationship with Google to ensure Vodafone customers continue to have the very best in mobile services."

Last month, Motorola has joined google's align for mobile search.
