Google Instant comes to Android, iPhones worldwide







 Google Instant goes international.
(Credit: Google)
While we can't call it "instant," Google's expansion of Google Instant to mobile phones around the globe has been relatively snappy.
Google Instant, the company's implementation of real-time Web search results as you type, first debuted in beta form in the U.S. last month, for iOS 4.0 devices like iPhone and iPod Touch and for Android smartphones running operating system 2.2 or higher.
Today, Google Instant ushers in compatibility for 28 languages in 40 countries, according to a Google press release. (See below for supported countries.)
Google Instant will only work on the Web browser, and only after you opt in to it through a link on Google.com.

Since screen real estate is limited, you'll sometimes need to scroll down past the search suggestions to see the first results; this may not appeal to everyone. Do you love it; hate it? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
Countries: U.S., UK, France, Spain, Italy, Russia, Germany, Poland, Netherlands, Belgium, Ireland, Austria, Swizerland, Slovenia, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Ukraine, Mexico, Canada, India, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Norway, Romania, Portugal, Hungary, Greece, Croatia, Bulgaria, Latvia, Lithuania, Serbia, Malaysia, Vietnam, Pakistan, Indonesia.

iPhone apps for a very zombie Christmas








'Tis the season to put the smackdown on everybody's favorite brain-munching undead horde: zombies. Of course, now that AMC's incredible "The Walking Dead" has ended its first season, you'll need something to tide you over until the flesh-eaters rise again. Look no further than these three new iOS games:


Dead Rising Mobile looks like a PlayStation 1 reject, but it offers satisfying gameplay and unique social-network integration.


Dead Rising Mobile It's the classic story: man travels to small town, discovers it's been overrun by zombies, and holes up in the local mall--where said zombies arrive in wave after wave. Dead Rising Mobile ($4.99) won't win any beauty contests, but it offers a few cool twists.
For one thing, you can pick up anything (frying pan, golf club, park bench) and use it as a weapon. Plus, it integrates with Facebook and Twitter to notify friends when you bite the dust--and lets them "revive" you. You can even appear as a "named zombie" in their version of the game.
Zombies Ala Mode  Nothing tops off a feast of brains like a nice ice cream cone. In the comedic, cartoony Zombies Ala Mode, you're the soda jerk charged with serving the undead, which means catching falling scoops in the right flavors and amounts. The game is fairly simplistic--something kids will probably enjoy more than adults--but it's a fun little diversion and completely gore-free. (How many other zombie games can say that?) It's currently on sale for $1.99.


ZombieSmash HD  A longtime favorite for the iPhone and iPod, the castle defense-inspired ZombieSmash is finally available in HD form for the iPad. (Actually, not just yet: it's due for release on Dec. 16.) The update makes good use of the iPad's bigger screen, offering more zombie hordes and support for multitouch (for extra zombie-flinging goodness). Don't know the price just yet, but as long as it's under $5, it'll be worth it.
If these titles don't satisfy your zombie-whompin' cravings, be sure to check out 5 iPhone games for zombie lovers (and haters) and Braaaains: 5 more iPhone games for zombie lovers/haters.

Hands-on: ThinkGeek TK-421 iPhone keyboard case





 "TK-421, why aren't you at your post?" Whoops, wrong TK-421.
(Credit: ThinkGeek)
Back in September, beloved gadget seller ThinkGeek announced the TK-421 iPhone Case with Flip-Out Keyboard. At the time, I was jazzed about the idea of trading my iPhone's cramped onscreen keyboard for a roomy set of tactile keys.
Now that I've had the chance to try them out, I'm still jazzed about the idea--just not the execution.
The TK-421 provides a two-piece wraparound plastic casing for your iPhone 4 or 3GS (be sure to order the right version of the case for your model). All the usual cutout holes are there, but the outer shell is so thick that it's harder to press the volume and power buttons.
The five-row, 49-key keyboard swings out from below (where, incidentally, it blocks the iPhone's camera--meaning you'll have to flip out the keyboard every time you want to take a photo). You'll immediately notice how top-heavy the contraption is owing to the weight of the iPhone. Unless you squeeze the keyboard tightly between your palms, the whole thing could easily topple out of your hands.
Also, on my review unit at least, the hinge didn't effectively lock the iPhone in its raised position. The tiniest nudge knocked it askew.

Another design flaw: the power switch is nestled so deeply behind the hinge that it's virtually impossible to slide. The fact that it's extremely stiff and hard to move doesn't help.

The keys themselves aren't bad. They're stiff and clicky, and large enough that you shouldn't have to worry about fat-fingering them. But the Space bar is too small for my liking. I wish ThinkGeek had ditched the functionally useless Alt and Ctrl keys right next to it and made the Space bar wider.

I had no trouble pairing the Bluetooth-powered TK-421 with my iPhone 4, and the keyboard definitely worked as advertised in all the apps I tried. The more I used it, the more I liked it, though I never did get completely comfortable with the weight imbalance.
The TK-421 is available now for $49.99. While other users--especially those who really dislike the iPhone's onscreen keyboard--may be more forgiving of its faults, I have a hard time recommending the product.
