Mobile Search – counterpart of Desktop Search on Mobiles

February 21, 2008

Pace at which a lot of desktop applications are moving to mobile phones, soon it would be imperative to have a ’search application’ on mobile phones which can search your mobile they way search is carried in desktops.

A company called Nuance offered a free trial to attendees of the Mobile World Congress last week that allowed you simply start typing a query in using T9. It automatically searched your entire phone for that content, be it a contact, file, image, application, etc

 Windows Mobile lets you search for some content using T9 in a way similar to the new software from Nuance, called T9 Nav. But it’s not as thorough as T9 Nav is. Unfortunately, T9 Nav offered only a temporary beta trial, and won’t launch until later this year. On top of that, the software is limited to Symbian-based mobile phones.

It would be a lovely feature especially to people who have got high end feature packed mobile phones.
