So instead of blogging about the iphone like everyone else ( I think I'm mostly jealous since I don't have the phone), I wanted to share something with you that I just found out about. It's a new service from google called Google411. It's free directory assistance for your phone. Also, after you get you the number your looking for, you can have then text message information. There's not a live person that you speak to, which makes sense since it's free... so you just say what you're looking for. Surprisingly, it worked really well. You can search for a specific name, or search for restaurants in certain areas. Here's the official information from google -

Google Voice Local Search is Google’s experimental service to make local-business search accessible over the phone. Using this service, you can:
search for a local business by name or category. You can say "Giovanni's Pizzeria" or just "pizza".
Get connected to the business, free of charge.

get the details by SMS if you’re using a mobile phone. Just say "text message".

Dial from any phone 1-800-GOOG-411
(1-800-466-4411)


And it's free. Google doesn’t charge you a thing for the call or for connecting you to the business. Regular phone charges may apply, based on your telephone service provider. Note: Google Voice Local Search is still in its experimental stage. It may not be available at all times and may not work for all users. We’re fine-tuning the service to get better at recognizing your requests. It’s currently only available in English, in the US, for US business listings.
