Google Places on your phone (vinaykola.com)

The basic idea here is to build an Interactive Voice Response System (IVRS) that is accessible through the phone. Something like JustDial, but without the hassle of talking to another human on the other end. You tell the phone the area you’re interested in, what type of establishments you’re looking for (hotels, restaurants or in an emergency, hospitals) and you will get a list of establishments that match the criteria you specified. Simple and fast.
