14 DAY TRIAL // Google Search, the official native iPhone application, has been promoted to version 0.9.0.7005 which brings a new way to switch through services, an improved help module, Instant Pages, and no more calendar alerts, to name some of the changes.
“Get the most advanced Google search experience for your iPhone, now with Google Goggles, Voice Search and My Location,” says Google.
The highly-rated iOS application designed for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad, brings al the desktop goodness to your portable device.
With Goggles, you can look stuff up by taking a picture with your iPhone camera.
Image recognition technology allows the app to determine the nature of the objects and returns relevant search results.
The function is mostly aimed at identifying barcodes, products, famous landmarks, storefronts, artwork, business cards and print ads, according to Google.
More recently, Goggles translates text in 6 languages and solves Sudoku puzzles.
Voice search needs no introduction - simply search by speaking into your iPhone.
The feature supports American, British, Indian, Australian or South African English accents, Afrikaans, Cantonese, Czech, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin (Simplified and Traditional), Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Turkish and Zulu.
The app’s ability to determine the user’s location can further refine a search by serving up customized results based on their current location.
Finally, Google Search offers those minor things that count the most, like suggestions, search history, contact search, and an easy gateway to other Google products.
