You might have noticed the new look on Google’s search page today and it looks like the search engine giant has additionally incorporated those new features into its mobile search page as well. So when you hit Google’s site using your iPhone or Android-powered device, you’ll be offered a button on the left of the results page to see a new search options menu. From the menu, you’ll be able to refine your search, such as looking for recent results by using the “Past week” option. As you filter your search results, you’ll notice the previous results slide off the screen to the right, so whether you want to see them again, all you have to do is pan to the right. Pretty useful feature, particularly whether you’re looking for some data while you’re on the road.

It was previously speculated that Google had dropped the Nexus One from Verizon’s lineup and now the search engine giant has confirmed that. As expected, the lack of the Nexus One on Verizon Wireless is due to the release of the Droid Incredible, which is considered the equivalent to the Nexus One and in some ways better. According to a statement from Google, that reflects the amazing innovation in the Android platform. Another benefit that the Droid Incredible has by the Nexus One is that it is sold in retail stores, along with a contract pricing of $200, instead of having to buy the Nexus One online only. It remains to be seen whether Google’s online-only marketing strategy will be considered a failure, as it doesn’t seem to have helped sales of the Nexus One very much, whether at all.
