Video: Google speech-to-search iPhone app
CrunchGear — I wonder how well it actually works. We’ll find out sometime today.

Holding a conversation with Google
BuzzMachine — I can’t wait to get the Google iPhone app that answers questions asked by voice: Tim O’Reilly called this one a year and a half ago, I think, when he said that GOOG-411’s core purpose or fringe benefit was that Google would harvest our voice samples and out of them create the best voice recognition online.

Eric Schmidt told Jim Cramer a few weeks ago that in the future, Google will make more from mobile than from the web because it is a better targeting ...

Google Mobile Audio Search
Android Phone Fans — Google isn’t foolish enough to think that Android is the end-all, be-all of the mobile world. In fact, fostering growth among many platforms has been a key initiative of the Big G and they continue to release new and innovative apps on platforms like iPhone and BlackBerry OS BEFORE it comes out for Android. One example is with Google Mobile Audio Search. While how great this app is will be defined by how well the speech-to-search function actually works, the potential results seem pretty incredible: My favorite part? The application makes use of the phone’s accelerometer to know when ...

Uh oh, Google voice app video pulled from Youtube..Apple not letting it into store?
9 to 5 Mac - Apple Intelligence — Our worst fears realized?  The Google speech recognition app hasn't hit the iPhone yet after being touted yesterday.  "So what?" you say?  "Give Apple a few days to look at it" you say?  More bad news.  Google has taken the video down from Youtube.  It is also removed from its Website.   Is this just us being paranoid or has Apple slapped Google for releasing the video prior to release?...or perhaps Google was pressuring Apple to release the update by leaking the video and information to the New York Times? We really hope this is just a blip...but just ...

Did Google Lose Its Voice (App)?
Alice Hill's Real Tech News - Independent Tech — googleiphonevoicesearch.jpg By Michael Santo Editor-in-Chief, RealTechNews Earlier we , and many others, showed a great deal of excitement over the new version of Google’s search app for the iPhone. The new, voice-enhanced Google Mobile App was supposed to be updated Friday, according to the New York Times. But, uh, it never showed up. Worse, Google removed its YouTube video regarding the new version, and no other statements have been made regarding it.
