Does Google Mobile Search include images?

Google expands mobile search to include images, voice, location

Google announced that its mobile search platform will now feature images, voice and location at a launch event at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, CA.

According to Google, mobile devices straddle the intersection of three significant industry trends: computing, connectivity and the cloud. Phones get more powerful and less expensive all the time, they are connected to the Internet more often, from more places and they tap into computational power that is available in datacenters around the world.

“These ‘Cs’ aren’t new—we’ve discussed them in isolation for over 40 years,” said Vic Gundotra, vice president of engineering at Google, Mountain View, CA, in a blog post. “But today’s smartphones—for the first time—combine all three into a personal, handheld experience.

“We’ve only begun to appreciate the impact of these converged devices, but we’re pretty sure about one thing—we’ve moved past the PC-only era, into a world where search is forever changed,” he said.

“And we’re excited to share Google’s early contributions to this new era of computing.”
