Create iPhone news alert

If you are reading this blog then you probably be interested in getting the lastest news on iPhone as and when it happens. Wouldn't it be nice, if instead of searching on the internet you get news directly in your mailbox.
Google News offers a service called 'News Alert'. If you are already using it, great but if have no idea what I am talking about. Google defines their service as "Google Alerts are email updates of the latest relevant Google results (web, news, etc.) based on your choice of query or topic."

Some hany uses of Google News Alert include :
  • monitoring a developing news story
  • keeping current on a competitor or industry
  • getting the latest on a celebrity or event
  • keeping tabs on your favorite sports teams
Searching the internet for clues to probable release date of iPhone in India seemed very frustrating and tiresome. Since the day I registered a news alert with google news I never had to search for news, instead any 'iPhone India' related news directly came to my inbox as and when it was published. Registering a news alert is as simple as it can get. All you have to do is to fill a simple form with just four fields : Your search term ; Type of news(news/blog/web/etc.) ; How Often (As it happens/daily/weekly) ; and finally your email address. Thats it.

Below is how I filled it. and here are the email alerts I recieves lately :I love this Google service just like most google services.Give it a try and let me know what you think.
