Gesture Search Filters Down to Android 1.6

Mar 17, 2010, 7:19 AM by Eric M. Zeman

Google has enabled Gesture Search for devices running Android version 1.6. Gesture Search allows users to perform searches by drawing gestures on the display. It lets users find a contact, an application, a bookmark, or a music file more quickly by drawing alphabet gestures on the touch screen. It was previously only available to devices running Android 2.0 and up. It can be downloaded from the Android Market.

Yet another feature being backdated!
