I dumped it...What a waste....I reloaded the Google Web App and it has search right there. It is a total waste of space on your drive!
It searches your contacts and other databases on the phone as well. It is spotlight-like.
It has a link to gtalk under more. Native Gtalk will be hard until the iphone allows background applications, or gtalk and the iphone can work together with a push aspect.
I know! I can't believe they wasted an entire 663kb of space! Dear Lord!
Well.. it wastes a spot on a page.
OMG I know! Can you believe that?! You can have 9 or 10 pages full of apps and Google wastes that ONE SPOT... IT'S THE WORST THING IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND OMG WTF OMG!!!!11~
._.
That's not true. Just contacts, that's it. No calendar, no email, no files, no applications, no nothing.
It's a worthless app, and I really want APPLE Spotlight to come...
The program has one main feature that blows the Safari search bar away:
- Search results update as you type. This saves a lot of time and gets you exactly what you are looking for in less clicks.
One concern I had was that it doesn't retain your search once it launches Safari with the results. What it actually does it creates 2 levels of history in the new browser window that can be navigated back to with the "<" button.
First press of back: returns to Google search results within Safari
Second press of back: returns to Google Mobile in same state as it left
There are settings in Under Settings/Google Mobile if you don't want it to search contacts.
It's a quick install. Try it next time you have to search and tell me it isn't quicker than using Safari.
