Starting today, the iPhone’s App store finally features the highly debated Google Mobile App, which enables users to conduct Web searches using voice requests. For the past few days, the only details about the app were the ones presented through a video demonstration posted on YouTube, which showed its basic uses and features.

The app was designed to significantly speed up the search process, in order to save the users’ time and also make sure that this is done in a fun and easy to understand way. Once a user pushes the search button, he is free to continue the process by using voice requests that manage to provide some very good results. Even though the success rate is not 100 percent, most of the searches will turn out with many useful results and according to the first reviews, the best rate of success is acquired by users with a North-American accent; Google might take into consideration adding the service in other languages also – but such aspects depend on the level of popularity that the app will reach over the next few months.

Once a certain search term is queried, Google’s servers receive the information and identify the word, which is then entered as a search term. In order to make sure that the offered results are as good as they can be, there must be as little background noise as possible when dealing with the speakerphone.

The fun factor is also extremely important, as there will be many downloading it just to enjoy a new feature on their iPhone, without any interest in saving time with their searches. Google came out of the partnership looking extremely well, as it had the option to wait and develop the app for its own G1 smartphone. Still, considering that the iPhone has a significantly bigger user base, Google decided to allow a wider audience to enjoy the results of its work and this is why the iPhone was chosen as the first device to use the service.

There have been some concerns about the company’s approval process, which made Google postpone its initial release plans. It is a well known fact that Apple has a strict verification process for every single feature that is let inside its App Store, and just as the rest, Google had to wait its turn. There have been some developers extremely disappointed with this policy and announced that their efforts will be focused from now on other platforms, where they have the certainty that their work is appreciated.

Aside from the voice recognition capabilities, the Google Mobile App also connects users to all the other Google features including Gmail, Google News, Google Maps and so on. It is expected to significantly boost the sales of Apple’s product and it will also represent a good opportunity to see how it will be received by the public, analyze and fix the issues signaled by users and prepare a significantly improved version for next year.
