As a sign of things to come, and building on their recent purchase in May of Android, Google has produced a local search engine for mobile phones with built in maps.

Check out Google’s imode local search, Especially if you have an I-mode capable phone and live in the UK! Each one of the identified bubbles is displayed as the name of a matching search such as Indian Restaurant.

Now ……. if I could only check and compare menus and availability, and after reading up what other people say about the restaurants, make a decision and book a table for tonight!
