We've already seen how Google Instant allows us to perform searches faster on our computers. Now Google has introduced Google Instant Beta version for mobile phone, so let's check out what it has to offer.

All you have to do in order to use this feature is to visit Google's webpage and turn this feature on. Simply press the searchbox, it will snap to the top of the screen so you can see the results better. As you type, you'll get a list of suggestions and a live preview of your search results down below. Thanks to the AJAX and HTML5 implementation, you'll see the updated search results automatically without the need to refresh the page ever again.

Although Google Instant for mobile phone is still in the beta phase, it works great. It can save a lot of time when searching, and it's completely free of charge. In order to use it, you'll need to have Android OS 2.2 installed. Google Instant is available for iOS as well.

StumbleUpon is a popular service for discovering new sites on both computers and smartphones. Hence, StumbleUpon has released an App Discovery feature for Android OS, so let's see how it works in actions.

As for this feature, you'll get it right from the StumbleUpon app once it updates, and the only thing you'll need to do is to log in with your StumbleUpon account and you're good to go. After you log in, the app will ask you to scan your phone for existing apps, and after that, you'll get the complete list of recommended applications along with descriptions, screenshots, and Android Market star ratings, so you can vote right from the app.

However, this app isn't using your current topics from your StumbleUpon account. We're hoping this will be changed in future. In addition, this feature comes with unresponsive UI. But with tiny touchscreen buttons, it really makes the usage a lot harder than it should be.

As for the App Discovery, it's available on Android Market right now.
