First Look: FreeMobile411

by Jessica Dolcourt

There's no shortage of local search applications for cell phone users to rely on. In addition to Google Maps Mobile, Yahoo OneSearch (which is also bundled into Yahoo Go), and TellMe's BlackBerry app, is newcomer FreeMobile411, a simple, clean-looking WAP app that searches local business and residential listings for people, business names, and business types. While the publisher, V-Enable, works on distributing a more robust client through cell phone carriers starting with Sprint, FreeMobile411.com remains as reliable a lookup for people on low-end Internet phones as it is on high-end phones.

I personally believe all these apps still have room for improvement. Google beats Yahoo's ass in almost every department, but Yahoo's maps feature does have some serious potential. Anyway, nice find.
