    Google announced the new version of their Google Mobile App is available on iTunes. The new version has some new features including:

    • More search results on a page
    • Web pages open within the app and not in a new Safari window
    • The Bells and Whistles feature is now easily accessible in settings
    • A new “waveform” setting, which is eye candy stuff
    • Google voice search has languages and accents now

    I cannot try out the accents and languages, since I really don’t have an accent (the rest of you have accents, I don’t). But here is a picture of that screen with the available languages:

    One of the larger complaints about Google’s voice search was that it had a hard time with accents. I assume Google will continually add languages and accents to make it better over time.
