(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Based on a supposed leaked video from last week, rumors have been going around that Google Now could be coming to iPhones and iPads. For those who do not know what Google Now is, it is a Siri-like assistant but for Android devices. At the Google Big Tent Summit in India, Google CEO Eric Schmidt hinted that the app is waiting for approval by Apple as it has already been submitted for publication in the App store.

When moderator Alan Rusbridger directly asked Schmidt about when Google Now would work with the iPhone, Schmidt’s response was "You'll need to discuss that with Apple. Apple has a policy of approving or disapproving apps in its store. Some of the apps we make they approve and some of them they don't." The official recording is You must login or register to view this content., and at around 17:50 is where you’ll be able to hear the response.

It’s not the first time Apple has delayed the approval of Google apps- but surprisingly, they were quick to approve Google Maps when it was released as a standalone app. The leaked video by Engadget shows how Google Now would work on iPhones and iPads. With a simple swipe on the screen, the smart assistant would be available from within the Google Search app.

Would you get Google Now on your iOS device - or would you stick to Siri?

This would be cool, Siri is okay on my i5 but it is less responsive when it comes to asking for certain Locations or places and thats a main point of improvement it needs, maybe GoogleNow is more improved, I would like to try it out.
