Long available on Android, Google Now is the company's app on steroids.

Then you'll be getting weather at a glance, using the voice-powered search a la Siri, and having the app speak answers to your questions back to you. When we tried the Android version last July, it blew Siri out of the water.

It's a free download and it's available right here.

If you already have Google's app, all you have to do is update to get the new functionality.

Now for an odd twist: Most Android phones can't run Google Now. The iPhone can.
