I'm honestly not sure how many people will use this service. Typing things in via keypad is a royal pain in the a$$ and sometimes one has to perform multiple searches on Google to find what they're looking for.

I agree that typing things in is hard, but google has made shortcuts. For example I typed "pizza 92130" and Google told me the four pizza places near me and their addresses. I typed in a phone number and it gave me a name also. There are a lot of cool features that would be quick and very useful on the road.

Sounds pretty cool, then, as long as there are shortcuts to ease typing and only specialized queries are allowed. Nobody's doing research about college applications from their cell.
