Recently, I tweeted about Bing’s image search result page for mobile phones. If you have ever searched for images on Bing from your mobile device, you might probably have liked it. Because of the way how thumbnails are being arranged in the result page, it makes Bing to stand out from other search engines. Bing uses some technology known as ‘Seadragon’ to achieve that output.
Taking a cue from Bing’s image search, Google has now come up with a shiny new Image search result page for iPhone 3.0 and Andriod 2.1 devices. Google’s new image search result page not only arrange thumbnails in perfect rows and columns, but also responds to your touch inputs like swiping to see next image and taping the screen to see next result page.
To ensure this new feature doesn’t create any glitch while using it, Google has optimized it for better and faster loading of images. And has a black background while viewing individual images to enhance the appearance of image and as well as to make to easy on eyes. You can watch a small youtube video below to see it in action:
To try this new version of Image Search, just go to www.google.com on your phone and tap on “Images.” The new experience is available in 38 languages worldwide.
