Google Instant is slowly starting to become available for iPhone and iPod touch users. The feature will at first only be available on Google.com. It's currently opt-out, so you'll have to toggle it by clicking the appropriate option that should show up below the search box (see screenshot).

While Instant on mobile should prove useful by not requiring extensive typing to get to the search results you want, on the other hand a great chunk of the instantly delivered search results page will be covered by the keyboard. So the jury's still out on whether this is life-changing, but it is a neat trick, and being opt-in ensures that should you not like it, you have the option of simply not using it.
