This. Totally. Rocks.

What is is with Google? They ALWAYS seem to hit the nail right on the head with their little applications. Clean, quick, and incredibly useful. Check this out if you have a cell phone. In 2005, that's like saying "check this out if you have at least one lung".

Google SMS lets you get all kinds of information through your cell by sending an SMS (short message service) to their server. You simply message the phone number 46645 (yes, it works). 46645 is "googl" on your numeric keypad.

Take a look at the Google SMS home page for more details. You can get a wide range of information like driving directions, weather, business listings, restaurants, movie showtimes, etc... For example, typing "Mexican 10128" will give you the address and phone number of any listed Mexican restaurants in the 10128 zip code.

Nice. Very nice.
