I was searching for the phone number for the restaurant "Bamboo Grove" and it came back with "man boob grope".

Stop the presses! WinMo had voice recognition first. This is earth-shattering news and guess what? It hasn't helped the WinMo platform one iota and fewer and fewer people will give a fig about the WinMo platform once the iPhone picks up global steam. WinMo is old news, soon to join Palm in the race for mobile OS bottom-feeders.

The guy who wrote this article, should focus on things in 50's or 60's and do history stuff and should not be allowed to write tech stuff, he had no clue what this technology is.

This is NOT pioneering stuff, Microsoft's Live search for mobile phones already has voice recognition and it works pretty well. I do prefer Google Maps over MS's maps on my WinMo phone though so this is a welcome addition.

I don't think this article does the technology – or the reader – any justice at all. This is pioneering stuff, that will likely shift the goalposts in the same way as the iPhone itself has done.

I'm not sure this kind of cynical stance, with no real information benefit, belongs on what should be a reasonably mature blog. There are plenty of other sites for this kind of chortle…

I highly doubt that voice search is "the most eagerly anticipated improvement to the iPhone since 3G." Competing for that title would instead be Copy/Paste, or a little closer to home, Voice Dialing.

Very cool

Works good so far. Nice to see Google is doing something productive. Now if I could only get them to fix my homepage(still upset about left side bar on homepage)
