blackberry iphone geospot GeoSpot Launches Location and Time Based Search

GeoSpot is taking a simple, useful twist on your old-fashioned location-based service: in addition to your usual local search, these guys are taking into account business hours, so your results can show only what’s open during a designated time. It’s a very clever addition, and considering some of the Palm (NSDQ: PALM) Pre’s similar GPS/calendar features, we’ll start seeing more location/time cross-referencing features in mobile. You can access www.geospot.com in your mobile web browser – no app needed, although a dedicated app that could plug into GPS data would be pretty danged handy. It sounds like GeoSpot has catalogued the hours of many establishments across America, so fire up your mobile browser and see if that chinese place around the block is open. Next step? Ordering by SMS.
