Earthcomber now for iPhone

After the release of the Apple iPhone, the folks over at Earthcomber has announced that they have just released a version of their Earthcomber software for the iPhone. If you’re not familiar with Earthcomber, it takes the idea of having a mobile yellow pages, directory assistance, as well as driving directions and incorporates them into one simplistic program onto your mobile. The nice thing is that it doesn’t just stop there. Instead of forcing you to search by names or subject words to get the results you want, you can simply input your location and browse through the results. Broken into different categories, Earthcomber makes it easier to find eating locations, gas stations, essential shops along a trip, and even Wi-Fi hotspots. It also allows you to browse through a certain city’s attraction list, making it a nice trip companion, allowing you to quickly find trendy locations for late night music, or that well-known yet hidden diner for a nice lunch.

If you don’t have an iPhone, don’t worry, because Earthcomber works with most phones that are at least web-enabled. One gripe you may have is that the full version of the software is over 10mb large, so if you’re pressed for free space on your smartphone or PDA, you may not want to install it, and rather use the web-based version. Signing up for the service is free, and you can try out a demo of the app on the Earthcomber website.
