Google Instant beta rolls out to iPhone, Android

Internet

Google announced Thursday that its Google Instant service is now available for some iOS and Android-powered devices. Google Instant, which launched in September of this year, provides search suggestions as the user types. Search results are also automatically populated beneath the search bar, and they are refined as the user types or cycles through suggestions. Now, Google has officially moved the Google Instant experience off of the PC and onto mobile devices. Users of the iPhone and iPod touch (iOS 4+), and Android devices running Android 2.2 now have access to the Google Instant beta for mobile on Google’s homepage. The service can be enabled from beneath the search bar and it works just like the desktop version. So, if you like Google Instant on your computer, definitely check it out on your smartphone. Hit the jump for a video demo.

      I agree it has been out for a while but I being on verizon have not had it work very well because the network is not fast enough to accommodate the speed necessary to run GoogleInstant. When I am on WiFi it works but not 3G. Maybe 4G…or ATT faster network

    Google “Instant” is horrible and annoying. 99% of my searches take me less than 1 second.

    I have to agree with Bishopej. Google instant is annoying, sometimes it doesn’t even work. It’s just inconsistent, and I’ve already got into the habit of hitting enter, or clicking GOOGLE/SEARCH whatever the button says. The last thing I need is my phone doing it.
