Google Mobile Google has announced a new version of the Google Search iPhone app.

The new version is version 2.0 and was completely redesigned focusing on speed, usability, new features and making it beautiful.

Here are the main new changes you will find in version 2.0:

Complete App Redesign
Full Screen Mode Option

Image Search Redesigned Adding Full Screen, High Resolution Images & Save Image Feature
Swipe Away Web Pages To Return To Results
Search Within Web Pages
Faster Switching Between Images, Places, News, Web & Other Verticals

I am a bit surprised Google is making it that easy to save images from Google Image search to your camera roll, with the issues of copyright and Google Images – but they are.

Here is a screen shot of the new image search results page:
