Google has announced the release of a new iPhone application that integrates its multiple services into a single interface.

According to the web giant, this new app makes it easy for iPhone users to find, use and switch between Google search, Gmail, Calendar, Reader, and more.

In the official info, Google explains it has done this by taking advantage of browser technologies (like AJAX) that made Gmail and Google Maps possible on desktops.

Google says: "iPhone's Safari browser not only delivers an excellent mobile internet experience; it enabled our product and engineering teams to create an optimal Google experience on a mobile device".

To use the application, iPhone users simply point their web browser to http://www.google.com.
