Need that cup of coffee or 5 star restaurant in a unfamiliar city? Near Me Now has you covered. Simply enable privacy and location options on your mobile phone and let this function do the work.

"Near me now" was designed to address two user problems. First, to make it fast and easy to find out more about a place in your immediate vicinity, whether you're standing right in front of a business or if it's just a short walk away. For example, you may want to know what other customers think about a restaurant before you go inside or what they have been raving about on the menu before you order. By selecting the "Explore right here" option, you can find out more about a place "right here" with just a few clicks.

"Near me now" is currently available in the US for iPhone (OS 3.x) or Android-powered devices with version 2.0.1 or later. You must first enable location in order for "Near me now" to appear, and "Explore right here" works only if the phone provides location accuracy within approximately a city block.

They have really out did the competition by making these video's. Almost 6 minutes of demoing the Droid.
The Verizon / Motorola Droid is even more amazing than first thought. You need to watch the video. Really there is just so much users can do with Android 2.0.
If you have always wanted to develop a application and maybe missed out with iPhone this is your chance. Android has developer tools that you can use to create a application and market it. That's another post though.
Enjoy the video! We did.
If you really want The Droid Phone now they are available on ebay.com. Head over to Droid Cell Phone By Verizon For Sale On eBay.com post. Pretty cool that these people can get the newest cell phones so fast.
