Google Instant Comes to iPhone and iPod Touch

The idea of Google Instant is simple – Show you the search result as you type. At that time, Google Instance is only available for desktop browser. But today, Google brings the Instant feature to mobile devices including iPhone, iPod touch and Android.

To try out Google Instant on iPhone or iPod touch, you’ll need to have iOS 4.0 or up. Simply point your mobile Safar to google.com and you’ll notice an option below the search box. Click “Turn On” to enable the Instant (beta) feature. Once Google Instant is activated, you’ll see an instant result as you type the search. While you are typing the search keyword, Google predicts your search and shows the possible keywords. You can also select any of the predictions to get the search result. This should save you a few keystokes and speed up your search.

As Google Instant is still in beta, it’s only available in the US. If you do not see the “Instant (beta)” option beneath the search box, make sure you point to the US version of Google.

According to Google, the Instant feature for mobile works best on 3G and WiFi network. So far I tried Google Instant on my home WiFi network and it works pretty good. In case you do not like Google Instant after your trial, you are free to disable it via the same “Instant (beta)” option beneath the search box.

To see Google Instant for Mobile in action, check out the official video (though it’s demonstrated on Android, not iPhone):


What do you think about Google Instant for mobile? Does it improve the speed of your search?

Next Apple iPhone (Verizon model) hits “AP” field test stage, iPhone 5 hits “EVT” stage?

One of our solid Apple sources has just let us know some pretty interesting (and exciting) information surrounding Apple’s upcoming iPhone devices. For starters, we have been told that iPhone model 3,2 — what everyone is assuming to be the Verizon (or at least CDMA-compatible) phone — just hit the “AP” testing stage. This is the very last stage before retail release; final hardware, almost final software. Here is the odd thing, though… the iPhone 3,2 unit, we have been exclusively told, contains a SIM card slot. This is interesting for a multitude of reasons, and presents several different scenarios:

• The iPhone 3,2 could be the mythical CDMA + GSM/HSPA device that would support Verizon, AT&T, and the other current worldwide iPhone 4 carriers frequencies. The mid-cycle refresh would bring an updated antenna design for the current iPhone 4 and bring CDMA-compatibility; essentially, Verizon Wireless subscribers would have the same device as AT&T subscribers.

• The iPhone 3,2 could be a CDMA-capable iPhone that houses a SIM card for global roaming capabilities; though that certainly seems more complicated than just having one single glove that would fit both hands.

• One last possibility that the iPhone model 3,2 would simply be a slightly different design that doesn’t suffer from the same antenna attenuation as the current model; though that would be a little disappointing.

As far as the next generation iPhone 5, our source has also indicated to us that device has hit the “EVT” stage in the development cycle. The “EVT” stage is the engineering verification test phase, before the “DVT” phase.
