Google send to phone extension

Anyway, I'm constantly amazed by the things developers are cracking into with the APIs that are available. Now Google has a send to phone extension (for firefox). It's an extension that enables you to send short text messages of web page content to your mobile phone. How cool is that?

Just wait until some google map hacker taps into this and develops an app that will send driving directions to a mobile! Imagine, you get lost so you call home and get your wife to tap google for directions and the results are sent to you via SMS... nice!

Also, if you've been following our Google maphack section you'll be pleased to know that I've been constantly adding developer tools and links to new maphacks - see the feature at http://www.gisuser.com/content/view/5807/28/
