Hopefully we’ll get it polished and tested some more over the next few weeks so we can announce it).

Hah – indeed! We were in Portland this week for a conference (where we often were in groups with more than 50% iPhone penetration :-) ). We needed lots of local searches done to find food and drinks during the week. The Google Maps are super slick, but the data and the search for anything else than addresses is pretty bad, to put it mildly.

Over at http://www.yellowbot.com/ we have a mobile/iphone site in beta and it works pretty darn well (heck, except for the Javascript Google Maps even our regular site works well on the iPhone).

To your point about the buttons: Apple is a great software company and I’m sure they’ll figure this stuff out.

– ask
