Even as Yahoo's death cries reverberate across the plains of new media, its mobile innovations continue to impress.
Yesterday Yahoo announced that as part of its oneSearch program Blackberry users will now be able to search the mobile web by speaking into their phones. They can go to m.yahoo.com/voice/ to download the service.
Searches might relate to flights, restaurants, news or websites. The user can switch between typing and speaking the query. Results will be returned within 5 to 20 seconds.
Yahoo teamed up with Vlingo of Cambridge, Mass. for the voice technology.
