Google has released a new Google Search app for Apple’s iOS platform, the app will work on Apple’s iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad and it comes with built in voice search, which you can see in the video below.  Fast and accurate voice recognition technology
enables Google to understand exactly what you’re saying. Getting an
answer is as simple as tapping on the microphone icon and asking a
question like, "Is United Airlines flight 318 on time?” Your words
