Google unveiled the Gesture Search app, that allows android users to search for contacts, bookmarks, apps, music by drawing simple gestures on the screen. Gesture Search, announced March 3, can only be used on devices running Android 2.0 or higher ( I tested it on a HTC hero running firmware 2.1), which restricts the number of devices that have access to it. After using it on my phone, I found it very comfortable and useful, though it’s a little slow on my device. The app allows us to quickly search through the phone. All the contents are indexed first to make the search more faster. Many users want it to be bundled with the oncoming android devices. Want to try it out yourself ? Go to Android market and search for “Gesture Search”…!
Install from Marketplace
- Go to ‘Market’ on your Android-powered device.
