Google Mobile

Google brings mobile search to your iPhone with the Google Mobile app. This app displays search results from Google Maps, Images, News, and Shopping. If you don’t want to type in your query, use the search by voice feature. The voice search is accurate enough to search the web based on what you say. Another great feature is Google Goggles, which searches the web based on images taken with the iPhone camera. For example, if you take a picture of the cover of a book, the app will recognize the letters and search the web for that. This is a free app available for download at the iTunes App Store.
