You would think the phone companies who already have most of the =
necessary
resources, i.e. the yellow pages/directory listings, would be all over =
this
idea as a way to sell thier device/generate even more listing revenue.
Killer app: Cell Phone/PDA/GPSw Mapping,routing in a Palm form factor.

that is an excellent idea. I know one thing I would LOVE to have is a =
search
engine that can answer my question, "Where can I find a coffee house
{optionally: with 802.11b} open after midnight during the week in Los

No good answers so far ... at least, none that involve driving less =
than 30
minutes. :)
