hey guys it's Brandon minimun from pocketnow.com Google has released a version of its search for Windows Phone 7 let's take a look at it so when you're in Windows Phone 7 and you want to search for something the best fastest easiest way to do so is by hitting the search button here in the bottom right corner every Windows Phone 7 device has it and you're brought to the Bing application and this has a beautiful wallpaper in the background it synchronizes with whatever you see on bing.com for the day it also has a nice landscape view and it also shows you the information relating to this wallpaper with these little tips here and we can search for whatever we want its location away or it knows where I am it even has a little microphone so I can speak to it if I don't feel like typing let's search for pizza and see what we find the big application pulls in results from all sorts of places so we've local results here so it's showing me near me where the nearest pizza places are we can tap on the map it'll take you into Bing Maps or you can tap on one of these entries here and you're taken to another screen where you can look at reviews places nearby and back to the about screen really cool experience from here you can also check out any news that is happening relating to pizza if you're really really interested in pizza to the right you get web locations or web information so it's doing a search for pizza this jumps into Wikipedia or Pizza Hut and back to local now this Google application is far inferior to that experience which makes us wonder why they ever came out with it so if we scroll down to the bottom hit the G get a big G splash screen and here we are it knows my location just like the Bing application so far so good so we can type pizza we can't do voice recognition here we can only type so I actually already typed pizza let's go there and so it's gonna do a search for pizza and guess what it brings you it brings you Google results but it's just bringing you the Google web page it seems like Google spent about five minutes making this application because it's not immersive at all and of course naturally clicking on any of these links is going to open Internet Explorer which is kind of funny so you're jumping into a Google application just to do a Google search so you can jump out again in Internet Explorer maybe it's a fast way to do it faster way to do a Google search and maybe you really value that but it really serves no other purpose we can dial down into images but again this is all stuff you could do just by going straight to Internet Explorer and going to google.com there's really not much else to this app that's it so the Google app for Windows Phone 7 if you really really really like Google and you don't mind having an application that actually adds more steps to your search process then it's a good choice it's free but if you know what I waste your time it's probably not worth your your efforts to even download it on your phone if you like this video please give it a thumbs up and thanks for watching that's it for now
