Ask.com has recently updated its iPhone app to include questions and answers. Available as a free download, the updated application brings a combination of search and real people — like Ask.com’s Q&A beta site, Ask for iPhone answers questions using either search technology or insight from other users.
Even better, you don’t have to type a question – using some power licensed from Nuance, you can simply say it and let the voice recognition technology do its magic.
Once a question is posted, Ask.com will deliver it to the user who is qualified to answer based on expertise and knowledge area; and once your question is answered, it [answer] will be pushed to your phone (using push notifications).
Finally, Ask.com also promised to include location to the mix by the end of the year, allowing users to ask and answer questions relative to their immediate surroundings. Nice!
Ask for iPhone remains a free app and you can grab it from a link below…

About The Author
Dusan Belic
Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
