While pokin’ around at Google Labs, I came across Google SMS
Users who send text messages to 46645 (GOOGL) can “search” the Google network requesting everything from stock quotes and weather to driving directions and dictionary definitions.
For instance, to get a 4-day weather forecast for NYC send the following text to 46645:
weather 10019
this will work too:
weather ny, ny
This is much faster and easier than firing up the crappy WAP browsers in most cell phones. And other than the cost of the text message (from your provider), it’s free!
