I wonder how apple feels about this. Do you think they will be mad?
Google has given its iOS app a new search feature that squares it directly at Apple's Siri. Google even calls it the "most advanced voice search" on iOS. Google gives a number of examples of how the service can be used.

The service feels notably faster than Siri, recognizing words as they are spoken rather than all at once in the end. It even works on devices that aren't supported by Siri. One commenter on Hacker News confirms that the voice search works on his iPhone 4.
Google Search for iOS is available free on the App Store. [Direct Link]

- "What does Yankee Stadium look like?" Google will show you hundreds of pictures instantly. - "Play me a trailer of the upcoming James Bond movie." The trailer starts playing immediately right within Google Search. -"When does daylight savings time end?" The answer will appear above the search results, so you can set your clock without having to click on a link. -"Who’s in the cast of The Office?" See a complete cast list and find out who made you crack up last night.

When I read this on another site and watch some reviews and videos about this new update I go directly to the App Store and download the app. I hope Apple don't get butthurted of this voice search thing and remove the app from the Store. Google lately have been doing some awesome and professional looking apps, sucks I can't say the same about OS.
