Google Local Mobile Search

Google Local Mobile SearchGoogle launched a version of Google Local that’s specifically designed for cell phone browsers PDAs, or Smart Phones such a the popular Treo 650. It's similar to Yahoo’s mobile local search, but the integration with Google Maps is pretty cool. Google Local mobile search is pretty simple to use, you simply key in your search term as well as location or zip code and Google sends back a nice compact, mobile-screen-sized Google Map. As with all things Google, this info is free of charge - the one exception is if you pay Google to display Google Ads of course via their Google Adwords program.
