A new application which gives iPod users the chance to find details on local businesses and mapping information has been launched.
Created by Yellowpages.com in the US, the new system for the iPod touch and the iPhone has brought the company's directory services to a new, mobile audience.
Functioning through the Safari browser, the application also gives users the chance to save their favourite searches for easy access and use GPS-enabled technology to plan routes from where they are.
The application, which is a free download, can be accessed through iPod manufacturer Apple's "web app" site.
Yellowpages.com's release of the new application has come after the AT&T subsidiary also launched other wireless search engines for mobile devices.
Mobile phone users in the US can access information by texting a business name and postcode to YP411, while laptop users can also use the service through an optimised WAP browser.
The release of the new application for the iPod touch follows the launch of a weather application for the device.
WeatherBug's web application can be used for international weather information and streaming videos of forecasts.
