Google is the responsible for a couple of the greatest applications for S60 out there, just Google Maps alone would win over any other app, but we also got YouTube and Search from Google. The great news are that this three apps were updated and improved. Google Search and YouTube just got a few improvements and stability and bug fixes as always, anyway, this apps are just amazing. If didn’t know the Google Search app you have been missing a lot, Google Search allows you to search anything from places on Google Maps or videos on YouTube right on the homescreen/desktop of your Nokia E71 or E71x, an amazing app that completely improved the way I use my E71.

But the big improvement was made on the Google Maps application, the new ”Layers” were added making Google Maps even better.  Layers shows users layers of information to the user, for example traffic&incident reports and points of interest. But definitively the coolest Layer is the Wikipedia one that gives you information about the place you are in at that moment. Not to mention you can create your own layers from your PC and then see them on your Nokia E71 using Google Maps.

Google Apps are awesome, but unfortunately they don’t let the users know when there is a new version. To update the apps you have to download them again by going to the mobile Google site and hitting ”more” than Maps, YouTUbe and Search by separate.
