Google Gesture Search App Available for Android 1.6
Google Gesture search for Android was released just about two weeks ago to largely positive reviews. The free app allows users to draw a character on the screen and have it recognized and used to search the phone. It is very accurate and stable, but the only problem was that it could only be used on Android 2.0 and higher phones. That means only the Nexus One and Droid. But yesterday evening El Goog decided to make it available to users of Android 1.6.
Not only that, but the app is available in all countries where the Android Market is available. The new version also includes various performance improvements and bug fixes. We’re stoked that users of the venerable G1 and HTC Magic can get in on the gesture search action, but those running 1.5 based Sense UI and MotoBlur devices are still left out in the cold. HTC and Motorola are expected to release 2.1 based updates to their Android skins in the coming months. Until then, let’s spare their feelings and downplay how cool Gesture Search is

Android is now offering "Graffiti Lite"?
Palm must be wondering why they didn't think of that. Oh wait, they once did....
