Spartan Posted April 29, 2013 Report Posted April 29, 2013 [img]http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/04/nowios.jpg[/img] When it comes to major news, we didn't expect to hear much from Google in the run-up [url="http://www.engadget.com/2012/12/04/google-io-2013-dates-announced-may-15/"]to I/O[/url], but clearly, the company just couldn't wait that long. Google Now, a service that Android users have enjoyed for [url="http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/28/android-4-1-jelly-bean-review-a-look-at-whats-changed-in-googl/"]a year[/url], just became available on iOS devices in the form of an update to the Google Search app, confirming those [url="http://www.engadget.com/2013/03/12/alleged-google-now-for-ios-video-leaks/"]leaked videos[/url] we saw a few weeks ago. It won't have integration with notifications or alerts at launch -- it may come in a future update, but the company wasn't willing to divulge its future plans -- so you'll need to enter the app and swipe up to refresh your list of cards. The iOS version won't have every type of card that you'll find on Android, either: boarding passes, activity summary, events, concerts, Fandango and Zillow aren't included this go-round. Improvements and additional features will likely trickle in over time, but it's certainly better than nothing for iOS fans who've looked at Jelly Bean users with a slightly jealous eye. We've included Google's blog post in its entirety below, and you can jump to the source to download the app.
