Promptu: The future of Cell Phone Search

Ever get frustrated trying to use your cell phone to find something? Using a web interface and cell phone keyboard is slow and pretty much of a hit and miss experience. If you want to find a ringtone, songs, wallpaper etc. it can be real pain in the neck.

Enter Promptu, a new spoken search engine. Their whole concept is that using your voice to search is the most natural and logical way to get what you want on a cell phone. If they are able to deliver what they claim (and with a $5.6M round of funding that just closed) this could be the next big thing. Just imagine the boost in revenues the cell carriers will see when it is even easier for my kids to buy new ringtones and games. :-)
