Google will read your mind and send it to your phone
I had no idea this existed -- my Treo has web access, which turns out to be pretty good for reading blogs, but not great for websites with forms (such as search engines). Or that one time I tried, from a street corner, to find the nearest Citibank via the Citibank website. Um, no.Google, however, has an SMS-based search service -- you can text-message a query to them and they'll send results right back to your phone. I typed "jesus is magic new york" and immediately received movie times, starting with Union Square. Brilliance.
The online demo is fun. ("citibank new york NY" does exactly what I was unable to accomplish via Citibank's site).

Seriously, Google Text Message has changed my life. I am so glad other people are realizing this. By the way, this whole mess is also mighty convenience in the kitchen: you can also text message Google things like "convert 3.5 tablespoons to liquid ounces" or "define mahi mahi" and it'll give you fabulous answers.
Viva la Google.
