Google redesigned its Google News product for mobile access on smartphones a while back, supporting Android, iPhone and the Palm Pre.
Now the search giant has announced that it's globally rolling out the new usability and visual enhancements in hopes that it will make your browsing experience a better one. The new design offers an expanded story space to make tapping on articles easier and more accurate as tapping anywhere on the article headline or snippet opens it while clicking on a section heading opens up that topic. The default view of stories is now collapsed to reduce scrolling time, allowing you to expand a story by hitting the "More sources" link. If you're keen to give it a test drive, head over to http://news.google.com from your mobile phone.
"Last November, we redesigned Google News for mobile access on smartphones including Android, iPhone and Palm Pre. Today, we’re globally rolling out new usability and visual enhancements that we hope will make browsing news on your smartphone easier.
We expanded the story space to make tapping on articles easier and more accurate. Tapping anywhere on an article headline or snippet opens it up, and clicking on a section heading opens up that topic section on your screen.
In addition, the default view of stories is now collapsed, to reduce scrolling time. You can ‘expand’ a story by tapping ‘More sources’, which brings you to related stories from other sources. The screenshots below show the collapsed and expanded view of a story. "
