NYT’s David Pogue Tests Out Free Services on Phones

David Pogue from New York Times tests the 3 free voice activated services and put up a nice review along with a fun video.

• 1-800-GOOG-411 : voice directory service
• 1-800-2CHACHA :  You can ask any question at all. “What’s that German word that means, ‘pleasure from other people’s pain’?” Or “Who ran against Abraham Lincoln for president?” Or “What’s on the front page of today’s New York Times?” Or “How do you jump the battery in a Prius?” Or “Where’s the cheapest gas in southeast Connecticut right now?” Or “What’s the last flight to New York out of O’Hare Airport?” Just about anything, in fact, you could find on the Web…You will receive a SMS back with answer
• 1-866-JOTT123: a Swiss-Army voice activated service that allows to enter a calendar entry, reminder, Twitter, Post a blog, etc…

We have covered them all (many times) on SolSie in the pass. But it wouldn’t hurt to have a quick reminder for these great free services.
