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.

What is wrong with google on the mPower? When I had my mPower, I
used google all the time and it worked just like it should. Did
google change something on there site or do something that the
mPower does not like?

The apex works beautifully as a Braille display.  I use the 32
cell display.

 As for Google with the Apex, if you mean searching with Google,
fortunately, it still works just fine for me. For, when I go to
 the google dot com site with my Apex, it loads in just a matter
 of a few seconds, not sure it even takes five.  The mobile site
is the one that comes up. Then, I can search without a problem, and the page with the search results loads just about as fast as
 the initial page.  From what others on the list are saying,
 though, folks trying to access the Google site with the mPower
 aren't having as much success.

 I've never seen an Apex with the eighteen cell Braille display.
It is my understanding, though, and someone please correct me if
 I'm wrong here, that one is indeed able to pay the additional
 amount and have their eighteen cell display upgraded to the
 thirty-two cell.  Further, if I'm understanding correctly, it
would be the same unit, but just exchanging one display type for
 the other.  Thus, the same carrying case would be used, but the
eighteen cell unit would have just smooth surface on either side of the eighteen cells, whereas the thirty-two cells go almost to
 either end of the unit.

 Hi;
I am not currently a braille note owner. Using another product, however, it is getting slower and slower to download google. It
 shouldn't take three minutes.  Apparently some folks are having
 problems
 and others aren't.  Saw the units at the a c b  convention but
 they were
 not online so didn't get a sense as to how quickly things
 downloaded.  I
 gather you can still not look at links from youtube?
Also can either the voice-note or braille-note 18 be upgraded to
 the
 braille note 32 or does that require a larger case?
 Someone on another list said there were issues with terminal
 mode.  Has
 anyone had any luck using the 32 cell unit as a display?
 Also looked at the i-phone but that touch screen is still a
 concern.
Thanks and Hi Jerry, remember your name from the blindhams list.
