Search Giants Google recently updated their former search application called Google Mobile App for the iPhone and the iPod touch to make it faster and easier to use. The application is now called Google Search App. The noticeable changes include:
The whole application has a new interface and users can interact in more than one way. Users while browsing through results can swipe down and see the search bar or change their settings. There is also an added Apps button that brings out various Google Mobile products. A toolbar for filtering the results has been added to change result filters from web, news, images and places. A swipe gesture can also be used to filter results.
Users can resume their search where they left the application, meaning if a user searched for something and closed the app, the next time when the app is opened it goes back to that last search. A single tap to the search bar starts a new search.
Added features including Google Goggles, Voice Search, Search with My Location, Gmail unread counts and more. Also a help feature to explore the new updated app.
Apple To Improve Push Notifications in iOS 5 ?

Considering the Cult of Mac report , Apple may be hiring an App Store developer to improve push notification service. The Push Notifications is the only area where Apple needs to improve. The Push Notifications are very well managed by the Android and then WebOS. As far as history of Apple is concerned , they released 'COPY PASTE' in iOS 3.0 , 'MULTITASKING' in iOS 4.0 and we guess that next major release will be the improvement in 'PUSH NOTIFICATIONS' service in iOS 5.
According to report by Cult of Mac :
"Our source, who asked to remain anonymous, didn’t know the identity of the company, except it already has an iPhone app in the App Store. One candidate is Boxcar, a free app from Appremix that enables push notifications for Twitter, Facebook, and email. Boxcar’s system has been highly praised, especially the new iPad version."
Boxcar is one of the best known clients for push notification. It is a third party client and not implemented in OS itself. Anyways , we hope that Apple should come out with a better way of experiencing push notifications with iOS 5.0 in the next coming months.
