The official iPhone and iPad applications are nice though. My biggest use of IMDb is while I am watching TV or movies and it's more likely I'll have my phone or iPad than my laptop.

http://thetvdb.com/ is another open project (the data is CC and the software is GPL) that's used by XBMC, Plex and others. It's aimed at software, not people, but it's good for episode listings.

Yes, and the iPhone version is better than the Android one. The search field is always there and it remembers your history. The Android app defaults to some adlike "BLOCKBUSTERS THIS WEEK" list that gives me that "I'm afraid to click on anything" feeling and you have to go to the menu in order to search, which is a button press and a screen tap minimum.
