As you can probably guess, this is a way to search in realtime simply by typing. While this new feature is rolling out on Google for users in the U.S. today (and the world shortly), that's only on google.com. But Google gave a sneak preview of what's coming next: Google Instant for Mobile, coming 'later this Fall.'"</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/adt/auto/1283982216.usr206.jpg" style="border: 1px solid #d2d2bb;" /></p><p>At a press conference today, Google announced their latest and greatest addition to the search world, <a href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/09/search-now-faster-than-speed-of-type.html" target="_blank">Google Instant</a>. The concept is pretty simple, as you start typing search results are instantly displayed and change as you type. Along with the usual auto predict this should make finding exactly what you want on the web blazing fast or at least a little easier.</p><p>What you guys might be interested to know is that Google also demoed Google Instant working flawlessly in Android's mobile browser. What do you think about Google Instant coming to Android this fall? Is it something you think you'll use or could you care less?</p>

No, don't get this at all. So instead of searching from my browser's address or search bar, I have to take the extra step of going to the Google webpage to do this?

hehe exactly. I don't every go to google.com to search, on my desktop or my phone. So this is pretty pointless to me. I would have never noticed it had it not been for the news posts. :D
But I suppose a lot of people still actually go to the site to search. One of my co-workers does it and it drives me nuts! :) Why are you typing google.com when you could just type your search right there?

Though it does seem to work well, for what it's worth.
