Yes, by default now Google tries to take you to a WAP site, but mPower
units don't support mobile WAP sites - the Apex does, however.

What you can do is go to an address like this on your mPower:
www.google.com/search?q=test
where test is a word that you want to be searched. Once you get to
that website, you can search and browse Google as you normally would.
