\"\"<\/a>Google has just pushed out another Labs feature for Android handsets running 2.0 or later.\u00a0 It\u2019s called Gesture Search and it just that – It searches by gesture.\u00a0 Using the app, Nexus One and Droid owners can search contacts, bookmarks, applications, and music by drawing little letters on the touchscreen<\/a>.\u00a0 As you scribble more letters, your results will pare down.<\/p>\n

Rather than running on top of the handset as a means of input, Gesture Search is an application that must be opened each time.\u00a0 It\u2019s recommended that after installing the app, you place a shortcut on your desktop so it\u2019s always within reach.<\/span><\/p>\n

The jury is still out as to how intuitive this feels or what kind of learning curve it has, but we can imagine this cuts down on the long scrolls through contacts and bookmarks. yes on your phone (don\u2019t take this as a recommendation to use it while driving, though \u2014\u00a0that\u2019s never safe).<\/p>\n

Scan to download Gesture Search<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Please keep in mind that this requires Android 2.0 or later and is currently only available in the US.\u00a0 If you don\u2019t meet these two requirements, you will not find it in the Android Market no matter how hard you try.\u00a0 Until more handsets get upgraded from 1.6 or 1.5 (GASP!), this type of app is for an elite few.\u00a0 However, if you do have what it takes, scan the barcode to the right and get going!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
