The Google Mobile App's voice search only works on the iPhone -- not on microphone-enabled iPod touches. See http://drp.ly/obu2C for a screenshot of the app telling the user this. (This screenshot was taken on a late 2009 iPod touch, with the microphone headphones plugged in.)

"Just talk into your iPhone or microphone-enabled iPod touch, and the app fetches the results for your spoken keywords."

Should be changed to:

"Just talk into your iPhone, and the app fetches the results for your spoken keywords."

Sudoku was spelt incorrectly: "Sodoku can be tough, but its rules are simple." should read: "Sudoku can be tough, but its rules are simple."
