    Google adds voice activated search to iPhone -


    Users of the free application, which Apple is expected to make available as soon as Friday through its iTunes store, can place the phone to their ear and ask virtually any question, like “Where’s the nearest Starbucks?” or “How tall is Mount Everest?” The sound is converted to a digital file and sent to Google’s servers, which try to determine the words spoken and pass them along to the Google search engine.

    Voice searching has been available for at least a year on Windows Mobile Live search. I started using it right after I bought my Tilt.

    Yep, that what the article says too. There is also one from Yahoo.

    Knowing Google, I expect it to exceed the other offerings...;)

    It's surprising Microsoft was actually the first with something. ;)

    I've tried it on my WinMo PDA and it worked very well. Let's see what Google brings.
