This voice search update was inevitable for Google, and I hear works pretty well.  Now when you are in your Google app, you can just press the call button and say what you want to search.  Another new feature to this update is search with location.  Remember how you used to have to type in your location or zip code to get things like local movie times?  Well now you don’t, it will show your location on the bottom and you can just search for what you want and local results will appear.  If you are really new to Google, here is what the Google Mobile app offers:

Features

  • Voice Search.New! Speak your queries without even pushing a single button.
  • Search with My Location.New! Search for business, weather, and movie information without specifying where you are.
  • Local search suggestions on a map. See nearby business suggestions on Google Maps — just tap the “near me” suggestions.
  • Instant access to search. Start a Google search with just one click.
  • Google Suggest. Get relevant search suggestions as you type, saving you keystrokes.
  • URL suggestions. Get to popular web sites quickly by tapping site web address suggestions.
  • Contact search. Quickly find contacts in your address book.
  • Search history. Get instant access to your previous searches.
  • Easy access to other Google products. Launch other Google products like Maps, Gmail and News from the Apps tab.

Go to m.google.com on your BlackBerry to get Google Mobile.
