I've said this before and I'll say it again. Google is taking over the world. The latest work of brilliance¹ is the most fantastic Google SMS. Trying it out is now high on my list of stuff to do when I visit America next month. This service can get you information on:

• local business listings
• driving directions
• movie show times and theatre locations
• weather conditions and 4-day forecasts
• latest stock quotes
• quick answers to straightforward questions
• online product prices; and
• dictionary definitions

I'm a little bitter that it's not available in Australia just like so many other great Google products and services, including Froogle, Local, Maps and more.
