Thanks to my cousin Joe Vaughn, I now know about Google's SMS services and features. My buddy David Moncur is going to freak - you can tell all of your client's that you found this on your own.
Here is the scoop. You can get all kinds of info from Google via SMS, just like as if you were in front of a browser. I find the mobile internet service on my Treo to be spotty @ best. This all of the sudden unleashes the power of the internet on your palm top phone.
Google SMS (Short Message Service) enables you to send queries as text messages over your mobile phone or device and easily get precise answers to your questions. No links. No web pages. Just text — and the information you're looking for:
- Get local business listings when you're on the road and want to find a place to eat.
- Obtain driving directions to get from point A to point B without having to ask for directions.
- Find movie showtimes and theater locations of movies currently playing near you.
- Check weather conditions and 4-day forecasts to plan your day.
- Study the latest stock quotes and stay on top of the market.
- Get quick answers to straightforward questions.
- Compare online product prices with ones you find in retail stores.
- Look up dictionary definitions to expand your vocabulary or prove a point.
