Google Search For Mobile Connects With Apps 
By: Doug Caverly 2010-06-03 Don't be surprised if developers start speaking more fondly of Google over the next few days, weeks, or even months. They're likely to be earning a bit more money since Google has started teaching Google Search for mobile to return mobile app results.
A post on the Google Mobile Blog explained late yesterday, "-I-f you go to Google.com on your iPhone or Android-powered device and search for an app, we'll show special links and content at the top of the search results. You can tap these links to go directly to the app's Android Market or iPhone App Store page. You can also get a quick look at some of the app's basic details including the price, rating, and publisher." The post then noted that this shouldn't cause app spam, since "-t-hese results will appear when your search pertains to a mobile application and relevant, well-rated apps are found." The one slight catch is the limited availability of these special results; if you're outside the U.S., or own something other than an iPhone or Android device, you're out of luck. Google's working on bringing mobile app results to more people, though, and again, developers (along with many users) are liable to be quite happy about this first step.
