Google Launching New Voice Search App On iPhone!

Google has announced that they're adding verbal searching to the iPhone today via a new search app to be released on the iTunes Store!

Continuing its trend of debuting new mobile Google features on the iPhone instead of Android (seriously, Google, are you aware you have your own mobile OS now?), users will be able to simply launch the app, hold the phone up to their ears (it detects when it's being held up to your face) and ask a question like "Where can I get sushi near here?" and the app will upload the audio files, have Google's servers work their magic, and return with the answer (automagically determining your location via GPS, of course.)

Google says the servers will learn to recognise voices more accurately as more users use the service.

The app will be available for free on the iTunes Store when it releases later on today.
