Yellowpages.com has announced the launch of its new web application for iPhone and iPod touch. The application allows iPhone and iPod touch users to find local businesses and services by inputting a search term or category and location, and provides additional details such as user ratings, mapping, and driving directions. The new iPhone-optimized Web application provides a design developed specifically for the touch-screen and keyboard interface, and automatically resizes for both the vertical and horizontal layout of the screen. The new web app can be used by visiting yellowpages.com on an iPhone or iPod touch, and can also be accessed through Apple’s web apps directory.

You can get this on any mobile phone with Java (basically all of them) but it would be nice to have on an iPod Touch.
The iPhone just caught up with my old Nokia 6230 a bit, all it needs now is video recording.

I tried this out on my iPhone. Works well. Clean, nice interface. Maps are OK. Directions are pretty good. Listings have ph# and web URL if avail. Search by name and then city or ZIP. I bookmarked it. Will use it.
