Google Phones Add a GOOG-411 Button

We know that the Google phone will be out sometime in April, but now there is an additional feature that should interest local business owners. A recent press release from Thompson has this interesting tidbit:

Thomson (Euronext Paris: 18453; NYSE: TMS), and Google (NASDAQ: GOOG), have partnered to help consumers save money on 411 business information calls by integrating the first ever one-touch, auto-dial GOOG-411 button into many of its latest GE-branded DECT 6.0™ Interference Free phones for 2008. One of many new innovative features for consumers from Thomson, GOOG-411 is Google’s free, voice-activated, business directory assistance service, and the GOOG-411 button will be incorporated on more than a dozen GE phones, which will be available in April.

This could be quite exciting, as it is the first time that 411 has been made into a button. It will make finding a local business far easier and will be used more often now that the Google phone has incorporated the button right into the phone. Instant access to local business directories will be a big help to businesses, as well.
