Google released an update for its iPhone app that allows people to search on Google faster and easier than ever before. This launch builds on the previous version of the Google Mobile App for iPhone to offer two innovative new ways for users to search the web while they're on the go: by voice and by location.

With the new version of the app, people can conduct a Google search by simply speaking their query into their iPhones. "Voice Search" uses speech recognition technology to transform spoken words into text and then runs the query through Google web search as if it had been typed manually. Additionally, to provide an even faster and more natural experience, when the app is turned on, Voice Search will detect the phone's movement and activate automatically when you want to do a search. This feature allows you to naturally bring the phone up to your ear and speak your search into the phone, just as if you were talking on the phone.This update to the Google Mobile App also uses the iPhone's location detection to further personalize your search results. Now you can just type (or speak) a query like "pizza," "movies" or "weather" and you will receive results tailored specifically to your current location, without having to include a city or zip code in the search.

The voice and location features add to Google Mobile App's existing tools that allow people to access all of Google's mobile services from their phone. To learn more, please visit www.google.com/mobile or download the app from the iPhone App Store by searching for "Google Mobile App."

Gmail users disconnected from their accounts

According to softpedia, a 502 server error prevented Gmail and Google Apps users from accessing their accounts for about 15 hours. The error, associated with servers that have to deal with too many connections, disappeared after the number of people who tried to access a specific location decreased. In this particular case, it took Google engineers over half a day until they managed to solve the problem generated by a server congestion.The majority of users complained about the fact that they could not connect to Gmail through their Google Apps account, while the rest of them said that no other attempt worked either. People with more than one Gmail account noticed that, usually, only one of those could not connect. Google found out about the problem via the support forums. The officials responded, saying that the issue was already being worked at. Even so, some of the users got no less than furious. Many claimed that their businesses depended on important emails that had to be read or sent as soon as possible.

To pour oil upon troubled waters, Google representatives assured that only a "small subset" of Gmail users was experiencing the inability to log in. Also, on the Google Apps discussion group, one of the representatives of the company said that the issue was only access-related. During the failure, email accounts were still able of receiving and storing messages.

The annoyed users affected by the issue pointed the finger at Google, accusing the Mountain View-based company of slow response. "I feel for all business that has been affected by this. I can only imagine how much money was lost and how many client relationships must now be strained as a result of this monumental dropping of the ball on behalf of Google." said Tim, a man who claimed that his company was one of the first to adopt Google Apps.

Yes we know that the iPhone has a wonderful Mac operating system functioning. But, don’t you feel like going beyond Apple and make use of some other operating system. Just for a change, think different and allow your iPhone to utilize more innovative themes. Is the black color getting a little boring? Get vibrant colors with a 3D look.
Apple is not joining hands with any other operating system or software developer. Magically, there is the latest VistaPerfection 2.0 theme to enjoy a dash of Windows Vista on the iPhone. If you noticed the images, the cluttered theme does give you a close-to Vista look. It’s definitely going to a change your phone.And here is the rest of it.
