Gesture Search

In March, Google launched an experimental application called Gesture Search for the Android. The Android is a Smartphone that has the capacity to store an abundance amount of data and information. This makes it difficult for users to access specific items on their phone such as a bookmark, contact, application or music file. Gesture Search allows Android users to search their device by simply drawing gestures on the touch screen – for example, they can basically use their finger to write the title of the item they wish to find. The entire word does not need to be spelt out because the search results are continuously updated as the application registers each letter drawn by the user. The Gesture Search is known to provide a quick, fast and fun way to perform searches on a phone where great quantities of items are found in the one place.

It is obvious that Google is profoundly competing against the Apple iPhone in the Smartphone market. Smartphones have become one of the most popular categories for consumer technology. The Android is establishing exciting and innovative applications for users to interact further with their phones and therefore connect with the rest of the world in an easier, faster and more efficient manner. At this very moment the Gesture Search only works for contact, bookmarks, applications and music searches. I will not be at all surprised if Google decides to take a larger leap and come up with an efficient method for searching information on the entire web. What else does Google have in store? It is never ending!
