Google have released a new Google Labs application that enables Android users to search their phones by drawing letters on their screens.
The new app known as Gesture Search searches the phones contacts, audio tracks, apps and bookmarks based on what letter is drawn on the handset's touchscreen.
Today we're pleased to announce Gesture Search, a new Google Labs application for Android-powered devices running Android 2.0 or above in the US. Gesture Search lets you quickly find a contact, an installed application, a bookmark or a music track from hundreds or thousands of items, by simply drawing alphabet gestures on the touch screen.
The app is also capable of returning results for multiple interpretations should it be unsure for whether the letter drawn is a 'H' or an 'A' for example.
The application is available to download from the Android Market, just search for 'Gesture Search'.
