New Google Search app for Nokia Smartphones

Google doesn’t like slow things. They have come up with an interesting application for Nokia Smartphone users (N Series and E Series). You can download a small search shortcut directly to your phone’s homescreen. After installation you’ll be able to bring up a Google search box by clicking a shortcut button, type in a query and get straight to the results. You will not have to manually open the phone’s browser, type in Google.com or 466453.com(That’s a shortcut url to Google.com made for mobile phone users) and then enter you search keys.

Google Search App for Nokia Smartphones
According to Google Mobile team’s research, there is as much as a 40 percent reduction in the average time to complete an initial search.You can download the app by heading to mobile.google.com on your Nokia device.You can also see an example of how the search box looks like and how much time is saved by using this application here.

My Personal Comments: This app works pretty well with my Nokia N95. It would be better if they disable the frequent “Press ctl to search” reminder and if they let the users decide the shortcut button to open the search dialogue. Anyways, it pretty much saves my time!
