Google Search App For Windows Phone

Google have unleashed their very own search app on the nascent Windows Phone 7 marketplace, or at least they will soon. Not that that is surprising in and of itself, after all Google has a presence on just about every mobile platform going, including iOS, but unlike Apple, Microsoft has some interest in the search market itself with its very own offerring: Bing.

How Google and Microsoft will interact over the long term when it comes to Windows Phone 7 remains to be seen, but with both companies increasingly competing in the same sphere e.g. search, instant messaging, mail, etc it may not be rosy. There is some hope that they will live side by side though, Google having apparently raised no objections to American network Verizon replacing Google search with Bing as the deafult search engine on their Android handsets.
