Google announced today that it has officially released the new version (4.0) of Google maps for all Blackberry devices. The new version will sport some pretty handy features for some. Once such feature is the added search by voice. This allows the Blackberry user to speak the destination that he/she is looking for. At the moment Google states that the new voice feature supports multiple English accents and Mandarin Chinese. I would hope that in the next update Google will release support for more languages.
Another added feature is the new Google Buzz. This will allow the user to integrate some social networking skills with actual destinations. In other words with Google Buzz you can see what is going on around you by what others have posted. You will also be able to share photos and news of your own to help others that may be looking for something to do.
I have not yet had a chance to download this new app to my Blackberry, but I will be sure to try it out before the week is out. Let's see what the Buzz is all about and if it really is a useful addition to the Blackberry, or just another useless app that never gets used.
