Google Releases Voice Recognition App for iPhone
Search Engine Giant Google has brought another iPhone application or rather added another very useful feature to its Mobile Application for iPhone & iPod Touch. The sophisticated voice recognition technology now allows users to speak to the iPhone to search for someting rather than typing. Once a voice query is made, the sound gets converted into a digital file and sent to Google’s servers, which then determines the words spoken and pass them along to the Google search engine and display the results back to the users.
Android G1 Makes Its Debut in the US Market
Android G1 has officially hit the US market yesterday. T-mobile released G1, the first smartphone based on Google’s open-source mobile platform, Android. The most compelling thing about Android is it’s fully open sourced. So anyone can jump and work on it pretty much straightaway. Though at the moment Google only teamed up with HTC Taiwan to make the device and integrate it’s mobile operating system, but already all the giants like Samsung and Motorola are lining up to use Android in their production line. So hopefully by next year we’ll start seeing a lot more devices filled up with Android.
