Superpages Mobile for BlackBerry Offers Rich User Experience for Business Travelers and Mobile Users
Superpages.com®, a service of Idearc Media Corp., today launched Superpages Mobile for BlackBerry®. The new local mobile application offers a rich user experience for business travelers and mobile users, while also benefiting Superpages.com performance-based advertisers.
“Mobile users, especially those who travel frequently, increasingly want more local information no matter where they are,” said Eric Chandler, President – Internet for Idearc Media. “As gathering local information becomes more pertinent and mobile local search's popularity continues to grow, users are becoming more aware of the capabilities readily available at their finger tips.”
Examples of new features on the local mobile application include:
* Get movie information fast – Search by movie, theater or genre. See show times, read reviews and connect directly to driving directions from wherever you are.
* Locate a business – With millions of business listings available from the Superpages.com database, you're sure to find what you need, when you need it.
* Map your way – With interactive maps and turn-by-turn directions, you can get where you're going quickly, easily and without the frustration.
* Find a person – The People Finder function allows you to find a friend, old neighbor or coworker across town, or across the country.
* Track the weather – Don't let the weather ruin your plans. Your five day forecast is available whether you will be in town or far away.
