Google brings Books to Apple iPhone and T-Mobile G1

Google is offering users of Apple iPhone and Android-powered mobile devices to access millions of books through Google Book Search.

The company has made available more than 1.5 million public-domain books in the US and more than 500,000 outside the US for mobile users to browse anytime at no cost.

"We are excited to announce the launch of a mobile version of Google Book Search, opening up over 1.5 million mobile public domain books in the US and over half a million outside the US for you to browse," the company said.

Google has also made it clear that the Google Book Search service can be accessed through mobile devices such as the Apple iPhone or T-Mobile G1, which is powered by Google's Android software.

To access the mobile version of Google Book Search a user needs to type http://books.google.com/m into the Web browser of their iPhone or Android phone.

Starting with 1.5 million books, Google's goal is to move toward universal access to books.
