Google introduced Local Search for Mobile

Google has introduced a redesigned local search experience on your phone that integrates with Google Maps on your computer and includes browseable categories that let you search without typing.

You can access these features on your mobile device, by going to www.google.com/m/local, or just click on the Local tab on www.google.com. The product is available in the US and China, with more regions coming soon.

More information about the new Local Search for Mobile is available on the official Google mobile blog.
