\"\"<\/a>Have a BlackBerry Storm or Storm2? Here’s a forecast for you — Google Mobile makes an appearance today and is yours for the taking<\/a>. The software finally arrives on Research In Motion’s touchscreen phones as a free download from Google’s mobile website: http:\/\/m.google.com<\/a>. With it, Storm owners can search the web, contacts or emails by voice, which is often far quicker than using a software keyboard. I typically use voice search over a typed query on my touchscreen Nexus One for this very reason. Voice search on the Storms support three languages: English, Mandarin Chinese, and Japanese.<\/p>\n

Even with helpful software like Google’s new app, I don’t think BlackBerry will make a dent in the top-used devices as measured by some. Take, for instance, the most recent AdMob report that Om noted today at GigaOm<\/a>. This quote is telling: “Between iPhone and the Android, I wonder if anyone else has a chance to even become a player on the mobile web.” A bold statement, yes, but it’s backed up by the data<\/a>.<\/p>\n
