Google: Introducing Mobile Search with My Location

Official Google Mobile Blog: Introducing Mobile Search with My Location: "From time to time, we all need information about local businesses when we're away from our computers -- like confirming the address of a bar while on the way to meet friends. Today we're introducing Search with My Location, a new way to make searching for nearby businesses on your Windows Mobile phone faster and easier.

Previously, when you went to google.com from your phone’s browser and performed a local search, the results were tailored to the last location you entered. Now, using the Gears Geolocation API, Search with My Location approximates your actual location using the same Cell ID technology used by Google maps for mobile. So if you want to find sushi nearby, just type 'sushi' and Google will return local business listings around you. If you want to know the forecast, type 'weather'. If you want to search somewhere else, specify a location in the query like 'pizza Kansas City'."
