14 DAY TRIAL // Google has updated the Google Mobile app for iOS devices to include support for opening the Google Voice app, bug fixes, sudoku puzzle support, and US print ad support in Goggles.
Google Mobile is a free app that iDevice users can download from the iTunes App Store and search Google quickly using the typical keyboard, their voice, location, and even pictures.
In October, last year, Google updated its Mobile app for iOS devices to include support for Google Goggles, the ability to take a snapshot of pretty much anything and get results from the web.
Now updated to version 0.7.3.5675, Google Mobile App for iOS delivers the following enhancements, according to its makers:
- Support for opening the Google Voice app. - Bug fixes (Goggles search history, sensitivity of gesture recognizer, links to maps and App Store). - Sudoku puzzle support in Goggles. - US print ad support in Goggles.
The list of key features featured on the app’s iTunes App Store page remains unchanged:
· New! Google Goggles - use pictures to search the web. Goggles recognizes things such as landmarks, books, wine, artwork, and logos. · Search by voice - speak your queries in natural language. Simply hold your iPhone to your ear and say your query. (Supports American, British, Indian or Australian English accents, Mandarin Chinese, Japanese, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Russian, Turkish, Czech, Polish and Korean.) · My Location - avoid typing your current location when searching for nearby businesses (e.g. "pizza" or "starbucks") · Google Suggest - tap suggested web search queries and local businesses that appear as you type · Search history - quickly search again for queries you recently performed · Contact search - search your phone's contacts. · Vertical search - search Google Maps, Images, News, and Shopping
In related news, Google recently began advertising a new Wi-Fi sponsorship campaign promoting their iOS application.
