Google has just updated its Search app for iOS, which finally makes Google Now available for both iPhone and iPad.
The app is almost identical across both iOS devices, while following the style seen on Android when it debuted last June.
For those not in the know, Google Now pulls info from all of Google’s services to provide you with information before you even ask for it. So it might remind you to take an umbrella with you if the weather forecast is bleak.
The info is displayed on little cards and in notifications which can be easily dismissed once you’ve been alerted.
We want it now
However, some of the features, including Activity Summary, Boarding Pass, Concerts and Nearby Events aren’t available for the iOS version right now, though we expect them to appear in the near future.
All you have to do to get Google Now on your iOS device is download Google Search from the App Store and then get playing.

Blip: iOS 7 concept artist wants widgetsPosted on 08 April 2013.
A dilligent designer has mocked up a video showing how he’d like iOS to work on his iPhone and iPad, with features like Android-style widgets on the top of his must have list. Frederico Bianco has created quite a detailed breakdown of his vision for iOS 7, not just of what the features should be, but of how they should work, too. As you might expect, a number of the features Bianco wants are some of the best ideas found on Android phones. He wants to be able to launch apps from the Lock Screen, for example, and he wants to access certain apps through widgets, rather than having to launch the apps themselves. One of his better ideas is for a new app called Shelf. This would be a repository for all of the webpages you select to read later, with a two-step process for adding them through the Safari browser. Take a look at Bianco’s video for yourself and let us know which of his ideas you love, and which are completely bonkers.
