Google has admitted that its new mobile iPhone application violates the terms of Apple’s iPhone SDK. As reported earlier, the new voice search featured mobile app referenced undocumented APIs in order to access the iPhone’s proximity sensor. This capability allows the screen to be dimmed when the user holds the phone near the face.
John Gruber of Daring Fireball had an interesting find on Google’s latest (and much-publicized) update to its mobile iPhone application. Much to Google’s credits, the update features a very clever interaction design for the voice search feature. Users can either manually tap the on-screen button to initiate a voice search, or, as illustrated in the publicity videos, initiate a voice search by simply lifting the iPhone to the ear and speaking the search terms.
It seems that the previously reported Google Voice Search app for the iPhone might not be appearing in the App store as soon yet. TechCrunch reported that Google has removed the demo clip hosted on YouTube, but left the clip intact (embedded after the jump) on their own Official Google Channel on YouTube.
Google will be releasing a free application for iPhone users, which allows the user to search the Internet by simply asking a question. Its as simple as placing the phone to your ear and asking “Where is the nearest Apple Store?” or “When was the Great Wall of China built?”. The application converts the captured voice into a digital file that gets sent to Google’s servers, which will then determine the exact words spoken and pass it to the Google search engine.
