Voice Based Search Tool for BlackBerry from Microsoft

Tellme, a Microsoft company, has released a pretty cool application for BlackBerry Devices. It is a voice based search tool that provides GPS directions, maps, traffic information, movies weather and more. You can simply say "coffee" and it will find you the closest coffee shop and provide you with directions to get there.

It is available for the BlackBerry Pearl (8100), the 8800, 8820, 8830 and the Curve (8310). Phones without GPS are not supported, obviously. Be sure you have an unlimited data plan too.

This program can not replace provider GPS (TeleNav for AT&T) but it is very nice. In order to make this a full 'hands-free' service they will need to add moving GPS mapping as you drive and turn by turn audio alerts . But all in all I can sure see its use.
