Google Local Goes Mobile

Posted by Zonk on from the too-busy-to-google dept.

bigtallmofo writes "Google has added a mobile version of their local-search service to their lineup of mobile applications available from devices equipped with XHTML-enabled browsers. Previously available mobile Google applications include their mobile web and image search and their SMS service (beta) that allows users to enter their search queries and receive results via a text message. The day of receiving unsolicited coupons for your next latte as you walk by a Starbucks is one step closer."

    I don't have 3G but I can surf the whole internet using GPRS on the Tesco's branded O2 network. It doesn't even cost me anything in credit - I suspect this shouldn't happen. I only wish I had a better phone with a better browser.

    Switch to a better network indeed.
