Mobile Google Notebook

Google Notebook was one of the few Google apps that we're not available from a mobile phone. Now you can go to http://google.com/notebook/m and find a HTML version of Google Notebook optimized for mobile phones. There's also a new notebook "Mobile notes" where you can add notes directly from the homepage.

The "Unfiled" notebook is a great way to access your bookmarks, but you can't add a new one from the mobile interface. Other limitations: there's no search option, you can't edit notes, add labels or change the settings.

Is this a hack to compensate for Google Docs mobile being read-only?
And if so, do we expect Google at some future point to merge Google Docs and Google Notebook?
If this icon is a hint, I think they'll merge. After all, OneNote is a part of Microsoft Office.
There are more products available through mobile:

Search
Maps
Gmail
Calendar
Docs
GOOG-411
SMS
News
Photos
Reader
Blogger

I really like this.. its easy to use, and sticks my mobile notes straight into a new 'Mobile notes' folder available on the desktop :-)
Additionlly, you can send a mobile note directly to one of your other notebooks/folders. That I like a lot :-)
Ref the latter comment, an improvement would be if the 'add a note' window came at the top of the notepad you are in. Would save scrolling down to the bottom of all your notes in that notebook/folder..
What about search!? If you have a large notebook search would be very useful, I can't believe it's not there!
Was waiting and missing this.

Looking forward when Notebook gets to the list of mobile products:

Thanks!
Looks like I'm just waiting for Bookmarks then...
I want to send SMS directly to Google Notebook - w/o having to run the browser on my SmartPhone. Any ideas?
I aggree with Hal -- I want to be able to add notes by sending an SMS. -- Seems like this should be so simple. I can text events to GVENT to add them to my calander. Why can't I send an SMS to ?GNOTE? to add the verbatim text of the SMS (and maybe time info) to a new note in my notebook.
okay, I made a note; now how the heck do I delete it?
You can delete notes from the desktop interface: http://www.google.com/notebook/

Click on the small blue arrow from the right corner of each note and select "Delete".
Can anyone find a way to search notes from the mobile interface?
