I can’t help but wonder what’s the point of a directory assistance service on an iPhone, or for that matter on any phone that has a web browser — you need a number, you find it online. Even if the Google # is somehow faster (which it probably isn’t), it would be hard to change people’s behavior of looking for info through the web.

There’s also the basic problem that the Google # has only business listings, rather than the full listings that 1-800-FREE411 has (business, gov’t, residential).

People don’t do research on an iphone. They do it on their desktop or notebook or UMPC. I found some voice recognition software named Tazti speech recognition that actually is a free download and performs voice searches of Google, Yahoo, MSN, Wikipedia, Amazon, eBay and many other websites. It also lets me log into and navigate Facebook and Myspace by talking to my PC. tazti also lets me control my iTunes music player bu talking to my PC. It really works well.

Here’s their youtube demo video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C1tt_aeIAM8

tazti is a free download from http://www.tazti.com
