Android Magic: Just Flip Your Phone To Search!
If you are an android user, you may already be familiar with 'Gesture Search. It is an Android app that allows users to search by writing out characters on the touchscreen of your device.
Google is now introducing the next version of Gesture Search -- 1.2. The new version includes s new motion gesture.
How does it work?
Yang Li, Research Scientist, Gesture Search team, explains in his blog, "By doing a 'double flip', or flipping your phone away and then back, you can start Gesture Search at any time. This eliminates the need to activate Gesture Search from a home screen shortcut."
If this cool feature annoys you, you can turn it off or adjust its sensitivity in Settings. As you know being part of Google Labs, Gesture Search is still in its early stages so don't complain if things break.
