New App for Google Mobile brings voice search to BlackBerry

The latest version of Google Mobile App is already available for download

for BlackBerry users. With it, youll be able to enjoy all the goodies

that have only been available to iPhone OS and Android users.

The features that the new Google Mobile app introduces to the BlackBerry

owners are voice search and My Location. The first of those allows you to

initiate a Google search without ever needing to touch the keyboard. All

you need to do is speak the desired search string while holding the Call

key - as simple as it gets.

The My Location feature enables users to make searches based on their

current location. This means that when you need a place to eat nearby you

no longer have to type "restaurant near X", you just type "restaurant"

and the Mobile App will give you a list of places in the vicinity.

The Google Mobile app is available to all devices running BlackBerry OS

4.1 or later with the search by voice available on all versions

subsequent to 4.2.

The bad news is that the BlackBerry Storm is not yet supported but this

should be added in the near future .
