Google has updated it’s popular Google Mobile iPhone App that fixes the issues of OS 3.0 affecting the voice search feature.

When you installed the iPhone 3.0 operating system, you would have noticed that lifting the receiver to your ear and speaking your command would no longer function.

Google admittedly broke Apple’s rules by releasing such a feature. Specifically, moving the phone to your ear and having the application change to listen for you to speak, was not a supported developer feature in the iPhone SDK so when iPhone 3.0 OS came out, it seemed to have broke that neat feature.

With the new update to the Google Mobile App this is now fixed and works as before. In the notes for the update Google lists:

iPhone OS 3.0 compatible
New Google Suggest design
Local businesses appear in suggest
Did you say? for search by voice

Google Mobile App is the fastest, easiet way to search Google.

Avoid typing full search queries — or donn’t type at all — with features such as these:

* Search by voice – speak your queires in American, British, or Australian English accents
* Google Suggest – tap suggested web search queries that appear as you type
* Search history – quickly ssearch again for queires you recently performed
* My Location – avoid typing your current location when searching for nearby businesses (e.g. ‘pizza’ or ’starbucks’)

Google Mobile App also links to Google’s other applications so that you can easily navigate to them.

Google Mobile is a free download and is available immediately in the App Store.
