According to InformationWeek, Google is bringing its Product Search feature to the Android operating system and Apple's iPhone platform.Google Product Search allows users to get detailed information about a wide range of consumer products, from ant farms and audio receivers to zebraskin wallpaper and iPhone cases.
According to a post on Google's mobile blog, "Google Product Search for mobile gives you the same product information that you would get at your computer. And when you click on products like electronics and video games, you'll see dedicated product pages that include ratings charts and technical specifications."
Some speculate that the simultaneous release on Android and iPhone could signal a change in Google's strategy, as previous features had often been released on Apple's iPhone first, before being rolled out to Android users as well. My take? Google wants to support Android, being their "baby" and all, but in the end, they will go where the money is. As long as the iPhone continues to be a thriving market, Google will continue to support it.
