Just say it and your mobile would search it. Search giant Google has launched a voice based search for mobile (earlier seen on iPhone, and the Yahoo app for iPhone). Which means that you no longer have to click on search button but just talk to your phone and have your search results displayed.
Targeting the mobile users, Google believes their numbers have crossed the number of computer users. “Mobiles (more than 400 million) outnumber the personal computers (PCs — slightly over 30 million) concentration in India.
