Android bakes voice search into the G1, no Cupcake though
Google is in the process of rolling out a new firmware update to G1 owners, but before you get all excited, it is not the so-called "Cupcake" update. But that’s not to say this update doesn’t come with some interesting stuff, namely the addition of voice search as an integrated part of the web searching experience on the phone, as the Google Mobile Blog points out today.
Voice search is exactly what it sounds like, instead of typing in a query to Google, you can speak it and have Google display results. If that sounds familiar, it’s because Google did a much ballyhooed launch of the feature on its iPhone application a couple months ago. But the Android implementation is potentially bigger news because it is baked right into Android’s default web browser and can be added as a widget right on your main G1 screen.
