The management of suchen.de, t-info GmbH, announced the above in a press release. The mobile version of suchen.de is to be found at mobil.suchen.de

For the purposes of researching companies, service providers or products in the vicinity, the usual ‘what/where’ query entry is offered, where one enters a keyword plus the postal code, or town/area name. Similar to the PC-version, searches in the mobile version of suchen.de are also possible using city-area or street names.

With each of the discovered results, the user receives detailed contact details, sometimes including business hours and links to the Internet presence of the services, according to their availability. In addition, one can actually call the specific firm directly, by clicking on the telephone number included (assuming your PDA has a built in phone).  For those who would rather visit in person, the standard feature of the route planner is also provided for easy navigation. A map-view on which the location of the firm is depicted, with other similar services, is not a current feature of this version.

The display and usability of the mobile local search, according to t-info, is optimized for all applicable devices, taking into consideration whether operation is achieved using keys, scrollbars or touch screen.

This service is being financed using advertising revenue.  t-info informs that adverising appropriate to the search terms or location is displayed accordingly. [/lang_en
