Sometime today (I can’t find it yet) there will be a nifty new app in the iTunes store that lets you search Google by voice. The idea, according to PCWorld, is that you’ll say “Where is Sprint?” And the iPhone would detect where you are and return the location of the close by Sprint retailers. Then you can sigh with relief because you have an iPhone so why bother going to a Sprint retailer?

Thinking that the iPhone is a bit underpowered to handle voice recognition? Thinking you’ll have to train the thing by saying “Bob” five and associating a number with the name? Wrong! The iPhone doesn’t do the processing, a data file is sent to Google and then their machines calculate the answer and send it back to the iPhone. Wow, Google will get a copy of your voice for analysis! Well, no big deal people give info up to Google all the time.

Even better is that the new app promises eye free dialing. Say the name of a contact and hit the call button. And, since it’s Google, it will probably free. The cherry on top? It is iPhone only for now. Oh, Google is there anything you won’t do for us?
