someone asked about other options... I find the new google maps offers more precise locations, closer, more updated, etc.. surprised no one mentioned (unless i missed, if so sorry)...
I do everything via voice, no typing.. I have all these apps, here's what I use them for:
Bing: voice internet searches ("wiki chuck yeager")
Google maps: any businesses or directions (speak "movie", click on any theater (closest), choose details tab), dunno about send to friend.. haven't tried.
Tellme: to voice to text, txt msging
