I've read the CityID thread and was wondering...
CityID only returns the city and state of the caller's phone number. While that is better than nothing, it would be dandy if it provided more.
Here is a question for the gurus:
Is it possible to drop the incoming phone number into the input field at a reverse phone number site such as:
http://m.yp.com/mwpsearch.php using a script of some sort? Or even a stand-alone app?
I do this operation manually very often and it is a drag because you can't copy/paste the phone number from either the call log or incoming call popup box into the phone number form field on the reverse phone number search website. But the search does return the city and state at a minimum. If the information is available in the database, it will return the name, street address, and zipcode as well.
It seems like the opening of a browser window and entering the number could be automated somehow. There are many reverse lookup sites out there to choose from but I like the one at m.yp.com because it's very clean, fast loading, without a bunch of spam/graphics. It would load in PIE within the time alotted between the first and second ring.
I would gladly pay for something like this. Heck, I would be thrilled with just the ability to copy the incoming phone number to the the clipboard on my 700wx!
Any Ideas?
