Google Mobile - Really Mobile!!!

After a long hibernation, I have something interesting to share with you! It's about a mobile application on iphone. In contrast to other iphone applications, this is not exclusive for iphone, as it is a google's product. Infact, this is available for other mobile devices, from quite sometime and very recently got listed in the itunes india store. I have not seen many people around, using this application.

While its distant rivals are in the process of consolidating to compete with it, Google is looking at expanding its market share by pioneering in Mobile search market. This helps google to get closer to its customer like never before.

Let's talk about the application now...
In short... Its just Google on your mobile phone!!!
But the mobile version includes the following features...

- Voice Input:
You just need to open the application and keep the mobile closer to your ear. It senses the motion and the voice recording automatically starts. You just need to say the word you want to Google. Within seconds, you have search results displayed on your screen along with the location on map, directions and other information(if your search is a place).The accuracy of voice recognition is very high, i can say almost perfect.

- All Google applications:
All other google applications including Gmail, Orkut, Gtalk, Youtube, Docs, Calender, Picasa, etc.., can be accessed from the same mobile application.

- Customised search options:
You can specifically search for the information on your phone, Web, Images, Maps, News and Wikipedia.

- Google Latitude:
Using this you can Share your location with your friends and view where they are, on the map. No worries, you can even hide your location or change, how and where it displays to one or all of your friends ;)

- Local Search:
You can specifically search for dining, movie, shopping, events, ATM's, Petrol pumps, etc.., in your city.
