Posted by Bill Byrne, Mobile UI Witch, Google Call me lazy, but sometimes I just don't have the time or the patience to type a search query on my iPhone. Well, no more excuses. With the new release of the Google Mobile App for iPhone, I can just hold the phone to my ear, wait for the tone and say stuff like "Indian restaurants." And just like that, I'm looking at a bunch of places that will easily satisfy my craving. And, of course, while I'm enjoying my Tandoori chicken, I can use the voice search feature to settle important disputes with my friends without ever having to lift a finger. I say "lyrics to Purple Haze" and Google quickly proves I was right. ...
Google Bringing Voice Searches to the iPhone?
by Ron Miller —
The Unofficial Apple Weblog reports that Google is bringing a voice-activated search tool to the iPhone App store, but CNET reports that there appears to be a delay in the release of this intriguing tool, which would allow you to say your search criteria and get results.
