Google likes to keep things simple. Google Mobile Apps for iOS is now Google Search. I think we all know how Google Search works. Here's a brief description from the iTunes app store:

Get the most advanced Google search experience for your iPhone, now with Google Goggles, Voice Search and My Location.
