Default Google Plans Search Service for Mobile Content
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB118461672269867869.html?mod=yahoo_hs&ru=yahoo

:google: "Google Inc. is developing a new search service for cellphones that will help consumers find and buy ringtones, games and other mobile content as the Internet company pushes more deeply into wireless, people familiar with the matter say. Google already offers cellphone users a version of its popular engine for searching the Web. Now the company wants to go beyond just looking up Web pages, effectively becoming a gateway for finding and paying for mobile media content."

Well, I guess it is a good thing to make content for cell phones easier to find, but not user it needs to be easier for people to find annooying ring tones so they can leave their phones on their desk at the highest volume with the ringer to voice mail timeout set at a minute or so. :bad-words:

Just in case you didn't know, Google has a search service via SMS. Just send the word "help" to 46645 (Googl) for instructions on its use. I've been using that for several years, especially to get competitive pricing while standing in a Best Buy or similar store.
