Phone and compass. GPS tracking plus smart software. Point and find telephones. Geographical search says today's New York Times. A new front in the search wars. Using technology unavailable in the US, Asian phones (Japan, Korrea) are leading consumers in the street to where they want to go. Google maps on steroids.

Imagine if a phone/device could access a search for a dry cleaner, place a video call via VOIP, deliver payment for a service with stored value and lead the consumer to the business's geographic site. That would be mankind's best friend. It opens many many possibilities for new business  services and opportunities. And the thing is. These phones can. Just not in the US.
