InfoSpace has announced that "InfoSpace Find It!" will be available for iPhone users too from now on. The application has been available before as well, although not on Apple's phone.

"InfoSpace Find It!" has offered free services for a large number of people and now finds the new iPhone owners as an appealing potential audience as well. Developers have gone to great effort for providing a user interface responsive to the iPhone's performances.

There are millions of lists to return results for the user, in categories such as Dine Out, Go Out, Shop, Travel, Health and Services. Through an intuitive interface, the user can receive fast and reliable results on restaurants, hospitals and the closest places where they can find banking machines.

"As consumers increasingly seek locally-relevant information on their mobile phones, InfoSpace Find It! for iPhone helps users quickly and easily discover what's nearby--anytime, anyplace", says Jeff Torgerson, senior product manager at InfoSpace. The match with Apple's handset is an ideal one, he considers, as "The iPhone has introduced a new level of innovation in mobile user experiences, and its intuitive interface and vivid display screen really maximize the usability and benefits of InfoSpace Find It!".

When the Google Maps that the iPhone has to offer and internet results are not satisfying, "InfoSpace Find It!" might be useful. Still, such situations are quite unlikely to happen and only on a rare basis. What this application has to offer is an extensive content library, with information of nearby events, local entertainment.

The advantage of this is that the user can receive information of what is interesting nearby, even if he does not know where exactly he is. Moreover, he can find people by name or number, which can prove highly useful in many situations.

"InfoSpace Find It!" can be downloaded online, directly from handsets, using the Safari Browser that the iPhone comes packed with.
