They do it on their desktop or notebook or UMPC. I found some voice recognition software named Tazti speech recognition that actually is a free download and performs voice searches of Google, Yahoo, MSN, Wikipedia, Amazon, eBay and many other websites. It also lets me log into and navigate Facebook and Myspace by talking to my PC. It really works well. Here's their youtube demo video: http://www.youtube.com/w?atch?v=C1tt_aeIAM8 People don’t do research on an iphone. They do it on their desktop or notebook or UMPC.

Instead of denying the technology to all phones, the company is probably strategizing ways it can make money from everywhere. Plus Android is free to use by all carriers, and Google is hoping that its so good that it becomes the standard for all mobile OS -- which would make it much, much easier to push out ads in the future.

Regards. (It's funny leaving a comment here for you, because my brother's name is Rex. There are not a lot of those.)
