Thursday December 9, 2010 11:13 AM PST by Eric Slivka

Last month, Google announced the launch of Google Instant search feature for mobile devices such as Apple's iOS 4 devices. The "results-as-you-type" feature was initially limited to the United States, with additional countries and languages scheduled to be added in the future.

That future has arrived, with Google today announcing that Google Instant for mobile is now available in 28 languages and 30 countries worldwide.

When we launched Google Instant for mobile in beta back in November, we announced that we would be supporting additional countries and languages, beyond just the U.S. in English. Today we're happy to let you know that Google Instant for mobile is now available in 28 languages and 40 countries worldwide.

I don't like it and have turned it off for all my accounts and devices.
