Danny’s otherwise exhaustive discussion of the new Google UI left out mobile. As you might expect, everything Google does these days it does with an eye toward mobile. And that includes the new UI changes.

And here’s how that same search looks on a mobile device (iPhone OS). You touch the “>>” icon beside the search box and it reveals the filters:

You’ll notice that the order of the filters is slightly different on the mobile SERP. In addition, the blue filter, “Updates,” provides Twitter real-time results. It’s also interesting that Google has called the filter concerned with product search “Shopping” online and “Products” in mobile.
