Google Instant Brings Search As You Type To The iPhone. It’s Opt-Out And Pretty Hard To See

Two months ago, when they first unveiled Google Instant, Google let everyone know that it would be coming to mobile devices this fall . Sure enough, it's here, in beta form. While the feature hit some Android devices about a week ago, today it has arrived for the iPhone as well. I've just loaded up google.com on my device and sure enough, right below the search box and location indicator, there's an "Instant (beta) is on: Turn off" message. It's sort of interesting that the feature is opt-out, even on mobile. Though I have to assume that if your connection is slow, they'll revert to regular Google search just as they do in the browser itself.
