A new Post "Google Gesture Search Flip Shortcut Is Useful but Silly Looking" was written on the August 12, 2010 at 12:53 pm on "Press Release – Buzz Issue.".
Google launched Gesture Search in March and the tool has proven pretty
useful for people who want to search by tracing letters on an Android
smartphone.
Gesture Search 1.2 launched Aug. 11 with a potentially useful but
really silly looking feature called the "double flip."
Users of Gesture Search can flip their phone over and back to start
the Gesture Search app, a Google Labs experiment. This gestures
obviates the need to trigger Gesture Search from a home screen
shortcut.
In what may be Google's shortest product demo ever, the new activation
gesture can be seen in this 9-second clip on YouTube:
In short, it's all about efficiency. But it is really weird to look
at. Imagine riding in a cab through New York City streets and looking
out and seeing people flipping their phones over and back.
But I guess with all the motion sensors and accelerometers being
loaded onto Android, iPhone and other smartphones these days, it makes
sense to utilize the tools for something other than gaming.
Let's hope "double flip" Gesture Search is not a staple of Google's
mobile news event later this afternoon. Or maybe it will be fun, with
Vic Gundotra and other Google mobile execs all flipping their Nexus
One, Evo 4G, Incredible and Droid X units.
To try it, users must have a handset running Android 1.6 or newer OS
flavor.
Users must download Gesture Search from the Android Market, or scan
the QR code (also a downloadable app from Android Market). Users may
turn the feature on or adjust its sensitivity in Settings.
