I just recently updated my phone with new Android software update, and let me say that in quick review, I’m impressed.  Without delving in and looking at every application and it’s effects on them, I know that a few bugs have been fixed, Voice search has been added, and Google’s Latitude was added to the maps app.

As far as the Voice search, with one click on the microphone, google will ask if you would like your results to be location based.  Then, all you have to do is speak into the microphone and it will analyze your speech and bring you back results.  It seems to be pretty intuitive and not screw up with words that don’t even make sense.

Google has launched a new product called Latitude that allows you to share your location with friends and for you see the location of others.  With the new update, Latitude is now added to the Maps application for the ability to pinpoint the location of yourself and friends that you are following.

I’m excited to finally see an update of significance.  I’m still patiently waiting for the Cupcake 1.5 update
