Just text GOOGL (46645) to get access to much of the search giant&#8217;s most useful information, including addresses and phone numbers, word definitions, numeric and other conversions, weather, and even sports scores.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if you want to look up the phone number of a pizza joint to place a take-out order, text-message the name of the business and its city and state to GOOGL, such as zachary&#8217;s oakland, ca. A minute or so later, Google will send you a text message similar to this: &#8216;Local Listings: Zachary&#8217;s Chicago Pizza 5801 College Ave Oakland, 94618 510-655-6385&#8217;. To save time, enter the zip code instead of the city and state.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PC World: Cyrus Farivar, PC World Monday, February 05, 2007 01:00 AM PST Right before your eyes, your cell phone has morphed into a portable computer.
