When the little icon on my iPhone told me that there was an update for my Google Mobile App, I didn't realize that the UPDATE waiting for me was so super. As you may have heard, the Google Mobile for the iPhone now includes voice recognition. No need to type a search word or phrase, just launch Google and speak into the iPhone.

When you put the phone up to your ear, the iPhone's motion sensors sense that, and it begins recording. All you need to do is say in a normal voice your search terms, like "Plaza Hotel," "35 degrees Centigrade in Farenheit," or "pictures of the Liberty Bell."

Google searches and displays the results on your iPhone.

We found the voice recognition algorithm to be very accurate, although it sometimes misses on proper names.

The Google Mobile App also does searches based on your location. If you are in New York City or Atlanta and say "Movie show times," the App searches for movie times in that city.

Of course, with the Google Mobile App you can also type in your search using the touch screen keypad and you can access Google Mail and other Google applications through it.

There's even an instructional YouTube video (See below) to show you how to use the application.

This is a must have application for your iPhone.
