14 DAY TRIAL // One month after officially unveiling its plans to launch the Google Instant feature on mobile phones, the Mountain View-based company has started to test it on a few lucky Android smartphones. While this is not yet official, it seems that the feature has already been pushed to a couple of Android units in the US.
It seems that the “beta” version of Google Instant is now tested on Droid X, Incredible and G1 devices, as users already reported. Also, the area of testing seems to be restricted to United States for the moment, but this is not sure yet.
If you're using one of the above mentioned Android smartphones you can check for the new feature by opening your stock browser to Google's page.
Check out under the spot where it shows your location if there's a text such as this, “Instant (beta) is off: Turn on”. If you cannot find it, it means that you haven't been selected as the few lucky people to test the Google Instant feature.
Google Instant is a search enhancement tool that works much like smart dialing, by showing results as you type. Basically, this means that you'll be able to scan a results page while you're typing.
Since the guys over DroidLife forums reported the finding first, more people have started to input their feedback on the subject.
All these reports are pointing to the fact that Google has started to test the Instant feature for Android smartphones last week. Of course only a couple of devices will be receiving the update until the testing is over, but in the end we will all get it.
Perhaps an official announcement will be released soon, but I wouldn't bet on that, as Google Instant for Android is only in its beta stage. Well, a kind of “beta”, which is not official yet.
