you have got to check this out!! you can text ANY question and the little elves on the other end will send you back the answer…for free! it is a pocket Argument Settler!

Atually, James, our very own tjchan has signed himself up to be a little elf.

And to be clear, it’s not free, it’s $3.95/month, which is damn near free. Little elves are cool.

$3.95/mo isn’t anywhere near free. When I already pay $100 per month for service data sms the last thing (I personally) want to do is pay another four bucks a month for someone else to use google for me

If I’m totally missing something here … clue me in!!!

i guess i meant free for individual services and bits of information, as in you don’t get charged per question or per search or per joke, etc. when you pay the monthly charge, which basically comes out to pennies per use. try googling from your phone: What were the total first weekend box office receipts for Braveheart? or What is the line-up of this year Sasquatch Music Festival in WA? or How many fights occurred in the NHL last year? and i doubt you will get anything back. and that is just for the QNA function, which i use ALL the time.

knowledge is power, and i am kicking butt!

Sounds like you probably have everything you need, Brandon, but if you want to check it out, email me and I’ll hook you up for “real” free.

Of course, I’m biased, but having a gaggle of helpful smart asses look up things for me when i’m away from my computer is well worth $4 a month.

oops, email me at noel [[at]] mosioproject.com. Thanks!

@James … I see your point. I guess when I’m out an about I tend to need simple stuff like “Where the heck is Chili’s??!!!” Along with that 95% of the time (because I’m directionally challenged) I will map it out on google/mapquest prior to getting in the car. You bring up some excellent points though about being able to get the answer to completely random thoughts very quickly.

@Noel … that’s a very generous offer, and is greatly appreciated. Let me go a couple days and see how many random thoughts/questions I come up with while I’m offline and see if it seems worth a trial.

Right on, Brandon. I’ve found going out and having a few drinks with friends usually produces a few claims that need to be confirmed.

Have a great weekend and let me know.

So I’ve thought about it and it seems like a great concept. I wouldn’t use a lot of the features given the kind of device I use … but I can definitely see how someone with a non-smart device (like a Razr) would highly benefit from the service.

Looks like you would really want an unlimited (or fairly high number) text account to make full use of the service. Unfortunately I traded an unlimited texting account for my unlimited data plan.

Anyway, You’re right – the price is definitely justifyable for what the service does. If you don’t have the internet this just might be the next best thing.

Looks like good service.

Jack, it sure is. People answer the QnA’s lightning fast. I’ve had a hard time trying to answer one…in time as only the first 2 responses are forwarded to the person who asked the question. I haven’t had a chance still to try out the other features as I don’t have a text plan.
