After an unexpected delay in release, the update to Google's Application for the iPhone offering voice recognition features has finally arrived in the iTunes App Store (direct link that will launch iTunes). Since the application was originally expected on Friday, several people began wondering if Apple was going to ban yet another application from their popular App Store and from the iPhone platform without explanation.

So far the responses to the highly expected application while generally positive overall have been somewhat lukewarm as people are starting to discover how inaccurate voice recognition can be.
