Fetch Information on Your Phone with InfoSpace Find It

InfoSpace Find It is the latest in a long line of "mobile concierge" apps, which promise easy access to information, business listings, driving directions, and the like. But this one has a few amenities not found in the likes of Google Maps for Mobile and Windows Live Search, most notably its spoken turn-by-turn navigation: After the app fetches driving directions, it can speak them aloud so you don't have to watch the screen while driving.

Other newly added features include a BlackBerry version, a Wi-Fi locator, and a local-events search function. If you don't have a BlackBerry or one of the handful of other supported handsets, you can access the universal (and less feature-rich) version of Find It by pointing your phone's browser to wap.infospacefindit.com. It's a free service, natch, and especially handy for GPS-enabled phones. [via Crave]
