Google combines voice and location in new mobile search tool
The new Google Mobile App for BlackBerry – which can be downloaded from http://m.google.com – lets users search by voice, combining this automatically with location data to deliver relevant results. It even supports ‘British English’ as well as ‘American English’, so there’s no need to affect a US accent when you’re using your phone. The voice-search version of Google Mobile App is available on BlackBerry devices running O/S 4.2 and above, with support for the BlackBerry Storm coming soon. [Blog post]
