If networks/phone vendors provide access to that information through an API then applications like GooglME (http://www.thauvin.net/erik/j2me/#googlme) could provide the starting point automatically.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[John]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 2:10AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Google SMS adding driving directions?]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2004/10/14/google-sms-adding-driving-directions/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2004/10/14/google-sms-adding-driving-directions/</guid><description><![CDATA[GOOGL SMS searching already significantly narrows the returned information.  When you send "el gaucho seattle" for example, it returns the address and phone number.  Getting driving directions from that information would probably not be that difficult.  You may not even need an address.  You might enter "driving directions from University of Washington to Seattle Center" and then get the appropriate information.<br><br>Overall I've been pretty impressed with how well GOOGL does with providing me with the information I am looking for, and not a whole lot of other extraneous information.  Seems to work better than Google.com in this regard.<br><br>So hey, thanks for pointing it out, and keep your eyes peeled.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Oliver Ochs]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 2:10AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Google SMS adding driving directions?]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2004/10/14/google-sms-adding-driving-directions/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2004/10/14/google-sms-adding-driving-directions/</guid><description><![CDATA[If you type "flight aa 1234" to Google SMS, for example, it returns the same "not available yet" message.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Valor]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 2:10AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Google SMS adding driving directions?]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2004/10/14/google-sms-adding-driving-directions/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2004/10/14/google-sms-adding-driving-directions/</guid><description><![CDATA[Also try sending "stock" and you get "Looking for stock quotes?  Unfortunately this feature is not yet supported"<br><br>Same goes for "weather" and "movie".  I'd like to see package tracking and traffic reports later as well ("traffic" and entering a UPS tracking number came up dry).]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Gudlyf]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 2:10AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Google SMS adding driving directions?]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2004/10/14/google-sms-adding-driving-directions/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2004/10/14/google-sms-adding-driving-directions/</guid><description><![CDATA[Actually, there is a site which gives you the stock quote by SMS and also the analyst opinion. I use it all the time. Pretty smart. They have details of all the SMS services at :<br><br>http://www.koffee-break.com/sms_services_help.html<br><br>Also, flight status can be obtained using this service. Pretty cool<br><br><br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[sms_tester]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 2:10AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Google SMS adding driving directions?]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2004/10/14/google-sms-adding-driving-directions/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2004/10/14/google-sms-adding-driving-directions/</guid><description><![CDATA[Very well defined services. It appears they (Koffee-Break) are an Amazon company after all. So, its an interesting competition here between Amazon and Google. Also, if you noticed, Amazon (or Koffee-Break) offers services worldwide. Comparison shopping for UK is very cool !<br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[mvl]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 2:10AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
