Mobile Google Maps with voice search on BlackBerry Pearl

Mobile Google Maps with voice search on BlackBerry Pearl. A new feature, "voice search", has been announced by Google for a select group of BlackBerry devices (Pearl 8110, 8120, and 8130, US only). Voice search in Google Maps uses the same speech recognition engine as GOOG-411, our free directory assistance service. You're already able to grab it now on your BlackBerry Pearl by visiting http://m.google.com/maps on your mobile phone.

How to start using voice search? It's simple:

+ Press "0" to center the map view around your location
+ Press the left-side key and hold it while you say the name or type of business you're looking for (for example, "pizza")
+ When you're done speaking, release the left-side key, and our voice recognition technology will figure out your request and find the business you've been looking for, no typing needed.

More information about Google Maps for your phone is available from the official website.
