Google Mobile App (AppStore link) is updated with voice control support.

Features include:

1. Voice search - Speak your queries instead of typing them.

4. Fast access to Google services like Mail, Earth, Photos, Talk, Reader and more.

Voice Search is supported only on iPhone, and works best for North American English accents. Other languages coming soon.
