Manage updates with the Download AppCNET Editors' review
A vast improvement on its BlackBerry predecessor, Google Mobile App is primarily a search app that also serves as a portal to other Google Web apps. It's anchored by a search bar, with a string of icons along marching along the top. Click one to download or launch Google apps like Gmail and maps, or to jump to mobile Web sites for the panoply of Google apps.
Warmly welcomed are autocomplete search suggestions, the ability to scroll through search history, and the ability to edit a misspelled search term and begin a new search. It's disappointing, however, that most of the Google apps remain Web-based and have not merited a native application of their own--a disadvantage since the pages open by default in BlackBerry's bare-bones browser with its questionable readability.

"newbie so i'm fascinated by having the google apps here"
Version: Google Mobile App (BlackBerry) 2.0
Pros
some of the google apps you're used to are available in a 'mobile' version. you can sign in and access gmail, calendar, docs (though my company blocks docs), photos, and of course the google search and maps (with gps in blackberry). very convenient
Cons
'maps' doesnt automatically appear to go in GPS mode, need to figure that out. Gmail can be setup via blackberry's "Mail" application but that's not what this setup does, it treats it as a gmail web page. It is doable to use "Mail" on blackberry.
Summary
like having the google apps "bookmarked" for easy access. That's essentially what this does, setup 'bookmarks" to the web browser.
