Yes, I actually used three exclamation marks. Why? Because this really is damn cool. How often does someone in your life ask you a question that you could answer in two seconds if only you were in front of your computer? Sure you get on the web on your phone, but by the time you've connected to Vision and can get a url typed, the moment is gone. Never to be captured again...<P>
But there is hope! Using Google SMS, you can submit your query to the Oracle of the Internet in a flash. From <A HREF="http://www.engadget.com/entry/2511742306349375/">Engadget</A>:<P>
"With the new Google SMS service, you can do basic Google queries from any SMS-capable phone (which is darn near all of them) by sending text messages to 46645 (GOOGL). Results usually come within a minute, and are text-based only - no links or other craziness that could screw up an SMS. So far, you can get local business listings, product prices and comparisons, dictionary definitions, and more is planned soon (or already there and they just haven’t told us about it yet). So, for instance, enter something like “Starbucks 10016” and you’ll get a response with nearest place to get burnt-tasting, overpriced coffee. Well, near us, anyway, unless you change the “10016.” Give it a go and let us know how it works for you. So far our results have been positive."
