iOS Users: Welcome to the predictive search future.  Google has integrated its Google Now product, previously only found in Android’s post-Jelly Bean releases, into its Google Search iOS app.  Google Now is designed to present you with information before you ask for it, tracking packages, flights, traffic, weather, sports, concerts, and dozens of other pieces of information.  One limitation of the iOS release is that it is still app-based and does not carry the advantage of being baked-in as it is with Android.  This upgrade to the iOS app could be the first in a series of moves to make predictive search ubiquitous on mobile devices.
