Google is also working to bring some voice functionality to its desktop website. While Google Now has a voice component that has been compared to Apple’s Siri on many occasions, the essence of the feature is truly to provide timely, location based information. [Source]

Google Now is Coming to iOS, Watch The Official Promo Video That Was Leaked Earlier [Video]

Google has been bringing a lot of its apps to iOS lately, and there's a chance that Google Now might be the next one. Engadget received a promo video for Google Now on the iPhone and iPad that is done convincingly in Google's style, with a voice that sounds nearly identical to the narrator of a previous Google Now promo. The highlighted features are all what you'd expected from Google Now, and the service appears to be bundled into Google's excellent iOS search app. While it would be a bit surprising to see Google bring one of Android's biggest differentiators to iOS, the company has definitely not been shy about showing Apple's platform some love in recent months. We're reaching out to Google and will update this post with any information we receive. [TheVerge]

Google Now on it's Way to Chrome OS and Windows

Google Now integration may soon become available in Google's Windows browser and Chrome OS platform, after engineers added a new reference to the feature in the latest Chromium release. Discovered by Chromium enthusiast François Beaufort, a new flag has been added to the Chromium backend, which allows users to enable the option if they know the relevant Google Now server. However, as the feature is not yet public, Google Now cards (or notifications) are not yet displayed.

We suspected that Google Now would be making its way from Android to the desktop in December, which was reinforced when Google added a new notification center feature to Chrome OS, showing off card-like notifications for browser (or Chrome OS) events. For now, it appears that Google Now will be enabled in Chrome for Windows (no Mac version just yet) and in Chrome OS, but it's not clear when it will become available. [TheVerge]
