14 DAY TRIAL // Internet giant Google recently announced the redesigning of Google Image Search for mobile. The new solution is available for handsets powered by the company's Android 2.1 operating system, as well as for iPhone 3.0+ devices. According to Google, the newly revamped Image Search for mobile will offer handset users the possibility to view as many image thumbnails as possible when making a search.
The main new features of the redesigned Image Search for mobile include: - The thumbnails are square to maximize the number of images we can get on the screen at one time so you can scan them quickly - You can swipe to see the next or previous page of results, or tap the large, stationary 'Next' and 'Previous' page buttons - We optimized for speed so that the images appear quickly when you browse.
At the same time, Google announced that the viewing of images had suffered a series of changes too, as the company focused on making them as large as possible through the addition of a special image viewing page. Users will find it easy to browse through images by swiping from picture to picture, while also enjoying little distraction when viewing images, as there is a black background, meant to emphasize the image, while the buttons will fade out in a matter of seconds.
Those who would like to learn a few more details on the new version of Image Search should take a look at the video embedded below, which offers a short presentation of the experience. The new version of Image Search can be enjoyed by heading over to google.com on the phone's browser, and tapping on “Images.” The new solution is available all around the world in 38 languages. Regardless the type of images one would like to view (paintings, clothes), the updated Image Search for mobile should prove a great option, the Internet giant concludes.
