New Images Search for Android 2.1 and iPhone 3.0+


Google has just published on its blog that they have upgraded the mobile Image Search on Android 2.1 and iPhone OS 3.0+ devices. It provides more speed and less clutter — two things that we always need.



Image thumbnails:
  • The thumbnails are square to maximize the number of images we can get on the screen at one time so you can scan them quickly

  • You can swipe to see the next or previous page of results, or tap the large, stationary 'Next' and 'Previous' page buttons

  • We optimized for speed so that the images appear quickly when you browse

Special image viewing page:
  • The black background emphasizes the image and the buttons fade after a few seconds so you can just see images with little distraction

  • Easily browse through the images by swiping from picture to picture

How to access it:
To access it, simply go to www.google.com on your Android 2.1 or iPhone 3.0+ handset, and click on images.
