Robert Scoble has just compared Taptu versus Google for mobile search. Surprisingly, in some cases, Taptu is better than Google. Taptu works best for music and “fact finding” searches. It searches videos and web pages as well.

You can visit the mobile version of Taptu by visiting

What makes Taptu better than Google for mobile search? Robert showed the result of music search on his video podcast. Here is another example. The following screenshots show the search result of “norah jones” on Google.

And there is the result on Taptu.

As you can see, the result of Taptu gives the picture of the singer as well as some links the sample songs from YouTube.
