Tested this out yesterday on a friends Android Phone, very impressive to say the least.

Voice to Text... - Who do you want to text? Nobody - Aborting (something along these lines at least).

Shame it's not possible for the iPhone, activating an app via voice while it's sleeping. Very cool!

Shame that you can't select your language (Dutch/French/German etc...) - I wonder if this uses the Google Voice API?

We do use the built in speech recognition that's part of Android. We definitely want to do other languages (and luckily Google supports a lot of languages), but are focusing on English for the short term and will expand once we get that right.
