Apps for iPhone and iPod Touch and now the Apple iPad are definitely a big part of what people are searching for on Google these days.
Google recognizes this and the searches for their own mobile apps in the Android marketplace.
So, now when you search for a mobile app from your iPhone or Android device, Google shows direct links for app downloads. You can also get a quick look at the app’s basic details such as price, rating and the publisher.
At this point though the search may be limited to ‘well-rated’ apps. For eg. a well known SoundHound iPhone app came up in the search but I tried to find the AT&T app with no luck.
Also, the word ‘download’ and then the app name seems to be the key. I use Google iPhone app for everything and now I might skip going to the App Store for search for an app if Google can do that too.
What do you think?
