Apple delaying Google voice search app for iPhone and iPod touch?
MacDailyNews — Apple delaying Google voice search app for iPhone and iPod touch? Saturday, November 15, 2008 - 10:32 AM EST "Google today unleashed its improved [Google Mobile App for Apple iPhone and iPod touch] to the press and supposedly to Apple. But it hasn't yet hit the Apple store," Seth Weintraub reports for Computerworld. "What gives?" "The application was due [as soon as Friday]," Weintraub reports. "However, as I check my watch, it is now Saturday, and I still can't download this app. Is something up with Apple not wanting its users to have this functionality? Will Apple block iPhone users from this for some reason? Perhaps Apple has a competing technology waiting in the ...

More Apple iPhone Search Weirdness, And Embarrassment For Google
TechCrunch — Google’s carefully orchestrated launch of their new voice-recognition search application for the iPhone took a dive this weekend. The application didn’t appear as promised, and Google took down the YouTube video demo’ing the product (although it’s still on the Google Channel YouTube page and embedded below). This is an extraordinary event. Other search app providers have told me they’ve been kept waiting months for approval of their app, with no explanation from Apple. But Google and Apple are close, even sharing Google CEO Eric Schmidt as a board member. Something definitely went sideways, most likely involving Apple ...

Update On Google iPhone Voice Recognition App: Look For It On Monday
TechCrunch — Google’s voice recognition search application for the iPhone, originally set for launch on Friday, will likely go live sometime Monday, we’ve heard from a source with knowledge of the situation. Google was under the impression that the application would be live on the App Store on Friday (obviously, since they pushed all significant press attention to it). Sometime Friday they found out Apple wouldn’t be pushing it, despite the fact that Google submitted it for review earlier in the week and got a thumbs up for Friday. One source says they’ve had little direct contact with Apple during the review, instead getting their ...

Google’s Voice Recognition Search App Now Expected on Monday
MacBlogz - One Stop Apple News — The highly anticipated Google voice recognition search application that was set to push last Friday, will now likely be made available through the App Store on Monday. Google’s voice recognition search application allows users to speak into the device, converting the sound into a digital file that is sent to Google’s servers where the information is analyzed for the best search display. Simply put, you can speak and ask questions directly into your iPhone and receive the appropriate search results. The application was expected to hit the App Store on Friday, and was met with heavy anticipation. According to ...

Google makes big “Voice search for iPhone” announcement…so where is it?
Apple Gazette — This weekend Google made a lot of effort to announce an update to their Google Mobile App that includes voice search. So much so that they posted the video above on YouTube, and even had an announcement article in the New York Times. The App update was supposed to appear in the App Store as early as Friday. Here is is Monday, and as I write this - there is still no App. Google has even gone so far as to take down its demo video of the product (although it is still available on the “Google Channel” - and I got it from Tech Crunch), and we all know how odd ...

First Look At Google Mobile App For iPhone: Great But Not Second Coming
TechCrunch — Well, it happened. Google’s voice recognition mobile app finally arrived today on the iPhone App Store. Until today all we had to go by was the demo video that Google created showing it in action. And that video shows something that quite simply changes the way I’d use the phone. Instead of clicking buttons on the virtual keyboard to search the web or my contacts, I’d just hit a button and use the Google Mobile App. And it really is just one button - it knows, via the accelerometer, when you put the phone to your ear and when you take it away. Voila! Cool stuff happens. Here’s the video, narrated by Mike LeBeau on ...
