Get the 411 from Google SMS Service

Look up food, people's info, definitions all from Google SMS service. If your phone supports SMS, this is something to look forward to. I just checked to see what pizza places are around my area and I got 2 messages showing me the closest pizza spots.

I just got back home from a nice jam session at the coffeeshop and found this bulletin laying around in my inbox. I thought it was a joke at first but wow, this is awesome. Now when I travel I just google sms it instead of plugging in my laptop and praying for a wifi connection or hope that my GPRS doesn't drop with bluetooth connection.

I was at the gas station the other day and I remembered my passenger side headlight had burnt out. I looks for autoparts stores in the area and sure enough, one was down the street.
