Ask.com Mobile launched a voice activated direction service

Wouldn't it be great to do a search by speaking instead of keying them in? Well, Ask.com has taken its first step in integrating voice with Ask.com Mobile. They have added a new option to their Directions service called Click to Speak. The feature lets Ask.com Mobile users enter addresses by speaking instead of keying them in. With just a click, users can activate a voice activated directions service and within seconds receive a text message with a link to directions.

In my opinion this sounds pretty cool and I definitely would like to see more this kind of features. I hope Ask.com will add this feature to the regular Mobile search. Typing is always a slow way to do things with mobile phone, because of the keypad. I wonder when Google will add similar features to their mobile search?
