Froyo's new Voice Search

[herbmmm]

With Froyo's new voice search which app is associated with the new Voice Search? I have an app called Voice Search and one called Google Serarch.

the name is voice actions, long press the search button and it should start up. i like it so far.

Voice Actions? Actually, it is called voice search. If you got the OTA, go to the market and search for 'Voice Search'. The Google program will show up and it will update the current 2.1 version you have.

Nothing to do with the OP.

true, but i might have thrown a 3rd search into the mix.

No, we are talking about the same thing.

Voice actions is just what the Voice Search app is capable of. If you search the market for voice actions, Voice Search by Google shows up as the 2nd option. Thus, its called Voice Search. Voice Actions is an app that is available, but it is NOT the Google app. If you tell someone 'its called Voice Actions' and they search for it, they may download the wrong app.

Misinformation is the bane of my existence.

This solved my problem a=immediately. Wonder why nothing was mentioned in the AC Central DINC FROYO video?
