Google: a new status bar on the mobile site

Google just offered a facelift to its mobile site for iOS and Android. The search engine indeed adds a new feature to its home page with the arrival of a tray side.

It appears simply by clicking on the three horizontal bars which are now displayed at the top left of the screen.

The bar provides access to various Google services in one click: Google+, Search, Images, Maps, YouTube, News, Gmail Drive, Calendar, Translation, Books, Shopping, Blogger, Reader, Photos and Videos.

This bar is thus able to replace tabs that appeared before the logo above, less accessible and therefore impractical. Now the top of the screen simply displays a Web tab, another Google+ Images and notifications.

A change bodes well for users of iOS 6, Google's mobile platform being used since the arrival of Apple's plans.
