 "Google Unveils Icons for Mobile and Voice Search for Desktop")
Google unveiled a variety of new features, including some for its mobile version and some for the desktop. The mobile version of Google gets icons at the bottom of search pages. These icons include those for restaurants, bars and coffee shops and will point you to ones near your phone. Google Goggles also got a new feature where you can point your mobile device at Russian text and get a translated version. Both features will launch today.
Google will launch voice search
The desktop version of Google added voice search and drag and drop image search. There will be a microphone icon next to the search bar and you can click it to speak your search words. You will also be able to drag and drop an image into the search bar and Google will give you its best answer for what’s in the image. These features will launch next week.
Paddy does not, we repeat, definitely does NOT belong in the category of Mac-head (yeh right!). She does get excited by her iPhone and her iMac and her iPod Nano and her Macbook and Bali's iPad and her future iHouse (patent pending). Ok, so maybe her head is a little bit forbidden fruit shaped. She likes shooting video (iPhone 4 camera zindabad!) and editing montages (Final Cut Pro zindabad!), whether the scene calls for it or no. In her spare time, she's either kicking it on stage with KB the keyboard or kicking butt at Taekwondo.
