It's just a metasearch, though... and Ixquick is so much better imo.

seems to me like a bunch of novelty stuff. the results have many duplicates.
as I look at the great future features all I can think is so what.
# Phone pics section
It will have pictures that other users have submitted via their camera phones, you will see them live as they submit them and anyone with a camera phone can send them to us. Should be a very entertaining feature.
# Messenger search
You will be able to search the web via any messenger service including AIM, Yahoo, and MSN.
# Discussion search

Ice Rocket??
The mind boggles as to the brand-naming. Is it aimed at kids?

Nothing new IMO, Just another Meta search. Taking on Google with that?! Don't think so.

Ice rocket has relevant results
I am impressed with the relevance of the results. After settling with the link farms in the top results of other engines, this is a breath of fresh air. That is my first choice for searches now. Teoma is second. Dogpile is another very good meta search engine.
Google's results are so messed up these days, I am glad there are others to pick up the slack.

reminds me of a site that advertised as "theirweirddomainname.com - because all the good domains were already taken"
anyway... I've already seen meta search engines with thumbnails and iframe-preview and ended up not using them. it's nice but I don't need it
