Literally. He had the first ride in the first Tesla. Siri was launched in his house. He's been the first to share all sorts of technologies and companies with you, from Flipboard to Pandora to Instagram. Today he's focusing on mixed reality, AKA "next-generation augmented reality" which will include a new user interface for EVERYTHING in your life (IoT, Smart Cities, driverless cars, robots, drones, etc). That's based on his view thanks to his past experience as futurist at Rackspace. Best place to find Scoble? On his Facebook profile at https://www.facebook.com/RobertScoble He has been a technology blogger since 2000, was one of five people who built Microsoft's Channel 9 video blog/community, worked at Fast Company Magazine running its TV efforts, and has been part of technology media businesses since 1993. ++++++++ SPEAKER PITCH: Apple and Facebook now have revealed their Augmented Reality strategies, which means your business needs one too. Rely on Robert Scoble, the world's top authority on AR, to bring to your conference what businesses should do next. SPEECH ABSTRACT #1: TITLE: The Fourth Transformation: What's next in mixed reality (AR and AI) and the future of technology? Here's an example of this talk at Leade.rs in Paris in April, 2017: https://youtu.be/52_0JshgjXI Why "the Fourth Transformation?" Soon we will have phones and glasses that do full on augmented reality. Everything you look at will potentially be augmented. This world is coming in late 2017 with a new iPhone from Apple, amongst other products. Microsoft is betting everything on its HoloLens glasses that do mixed reality and the industry is spending many billions of dollars in R&D and funding new companies like Magic Leap. This future will be the user interface for IoT, Smart Cities, autonomous cars, robots, drones, and your TV. This is a big deal and Robert will take you through what mixed reality is and how it will change every business. Learn more about Robert's speaking style and contact his agent at http://odemanagement.com/robert-scoble/Robert-Scoble.html ++++++++ SPEECH ABSTRACT #2: "The Next Two Clicks of Moore's Law." Over the next four years, or two clicks of Moore's Law, a ton about our technology world will change. Scoble will bring you the best from his travels visiting R&D labs, startups, and innovators around the world. He views the world through his rose-colored-mixed-reality glasses, which will be the new user interface for self driving cars, Smart Cities, IoT, and many other things in our world. He'll send you off with some lessons for companies both large and small. ++++++++ SPEECH ABSTRACT #3: "Personalized Meaning: What is Augmented Reality For?" As we enter a far more technological world where even cars drive themselves, I predict we'll see a blowback toward the analog, more authentic world. What role does augmented reality play in both worlds? Get Scoble's insight into where augmented reality is going, see tons of real-world demos, and understand what he means by 'personalized meaning.'

Unless I’m missing something, it needs a simple way to blank the search field and start over, since the iphone interface forces you to hit delete until the current text is gone. Maybe pressing search again without changing the text could blank it? or just a small “clear” button. Reloading the page does clear the search field but that’s a bit slow on EDGE.
But yeah, otherwise very nice.

I’m impressed at how quick it returns results. I think if I’m going to use Google, this might be the page to search from – ad free.

@1 – At the bottom of the list of results there is a “clear results” link. Not the ideal place, but given how fat fingers are, putting too many controls at the top of the page gets pretty cramped.

Another cool application for iphone…PressDisplay.com
Great news for iPhone owners who like to keep up with the news while on the move. PressDisplay.com (the largest online newspaper kiosk in the world) now runs on iPhone, which means you can now view all your fave newspapers right in the palm of your hand. Even newspapers from other countries.
And not just poor imitations of these papers, either: PressDisplay.com gives you exact replicas of these newspapers with smart navigation. It’s just like reading the print edition, only without the messy newsprint fingers.
One more thing… PressDisplay.com for iPhone is being offered at no charge through the end of August. News junkies rejoice!
The whole story is at: http://www.prweb.com/releases/pressdisplay/iphone/prweb541724.htm
Warm regards,

For this to be really useful, MobileSafari should use it to deliver results when you use the built-in search function. Or at least give you the option.

Those of you that liked this sample app, might want to try this update which now includes a tab for Blog Search as well:
http://www.google.com/uds/samples/iphone/isearch.html
Better yet, use this code as a sample and build your own iPhone pages with embedded search. There is nothing really magic about this sample other than its CSS is designed with the iPhone and fat-fingers in mind. The code that powers the search is stock Google AJAX Search API which is designed to run on any page, and on any host that can cope with a little simple JavaScript.

@15 – No. No one could do what Scoble did at Microsoft 🙂
I’m the Lead Developer on Google AJAX APIs. I wrote the AJAX Search API, etc.
