The new Google Mobile application for iPhone is an amazing voice recognition interface to Google web search. This simple and free APP uses several capabilities of the iPhone, including the motion sensors, GPS, and voice record. When you activate the APP, as soon as you put the phone up to your face to talk, a tone sounds, awaiting your request. The tone sounds again just after you finish talking. The request is recorded, instantly sent to Google's network, and interpreted. A result comes back far faster than you would have typed a request the old fashioned way.
You do have to enunciate clearly... I accidentally got back a search for "porn allergy" when I requested a search for "corn allergy" ... that was entertaining. As long as you speak clearly, and have minimal background noise, it's amazingly accurate at determining what you're searching for even if you provide it with an entire sentence.
