Google Mobile App

I use the 'seat of the pants' philosophy when it comes to the Iphone... no instructions, not tutorials just tapping on the trans-reflective capacitance touch-screen opens a world of wonders, interests and social networking for me...

Still, nothing surpasses the intrigue of the human mind...we ask plenty in our lives and Google is almost now the default search engine for all and sundry....

Google's Mobile App is the most ideal app for me, employing visual and audio search parameters... take a picture and the app will launch a search on the description, location and origins...although, the potential is not exactly known yet...literally speak and you shall find, ask and you shall receive...

"Hachiko" was my first vocalised search...and wall-a!! The loyal Akita canine who waited unceasingly for his master at the train station to which master and dog would walk to before and after his untimely death... that is now a Richard Gere flick...a tear-jerker I reckon...I am digressing...

GMP uses essentially intuitive searches...you ask a question and the parameters will be displayed...usual disambiguation ... text and contextual ...as well as pictures and videos... this app is also available for Android phones and Blackberry devices...the limitation...well, if you had a prominent Russian accent or a heavy southern slang...the app may have trouble analysing ...I tried... it was hilarious when I said "Pizza" ...which sounded like "Pisa"... the leaning tower populated the web page...

The app also recognizes pictures, photos, landmarks, books, artwork and logos...and I anticipate the categories to increase and more sophisticated search parameters...

It's free and it's real fun... but I'd be damn if you won't have some bystander looking at you funny talking to your mobile device...and wonders....is the caller deaf or is the delivery man hard of hearing...
