Yeah, there was a slashdot thread about it … very cool service, but seems it a nogo for us Aussies because you can’t use the shortcode internationally (eg. +1 46645 or whatever it was won’t work). It would be nice if they could make an international number … but then the SMS might cost decidedly more or might end up costing them money or something …
It wouldn’t be nearly as useful even if they did that (since you aren’t going to want to look up where you can get pizza in NYC while you’re in Sydney), but still good for dictionary and calculator…
