One of the things that bugged me about Google’s iPhone app was that clicking on a search result opened the page up in Safari. If my Twitter app can show me a web page within its own browser, why couldn’t Google figure it?

You can also change the colors of your iPhone app, turn on improved voice searching, and, get this, the new app supports Australians!

Huh?

Yeah, apparently…

…you can now choose your spoken language or accent. For example, if you’re Australian but live in London, you can improve the recognition accuracy by selecting Australian in the Voice Search settings. And now both Mandarin and Japanese are supported languages as well.

I wonder if there’s a setting for Brits living in North Carolina–cos you all know how strange that accent sounds! ;-)
