Mac OS 10.2's Sherlock 3 to Contain Switchboard Service
"Steve Job's keynote address provided a tremendous amount of detail surrounding the next release of Mac OS X, code-named 'Jaguar,' which will include Apple's Internet search and services tool, Sherlock 3. I thought one of the details about Sherlock 3 would interest your readers a great deal.
Jaguar's Sherlock 3 will include Switchboard's dynamic online yellow pages, interactive maps and driving directions. Users will have instant access to information on more than 115 million local and national businesses as well as detailed maps and directions to help get them there.
In addition to providing more comprehensive business information than the printed books, Switchboard's national online yellow pages are an excellent way to cut down fees related to dialing directory assistance (which now costs $1.25 per call in most states). With Jaguar's Sherlock 3, users are able to unlimitedly look up business and residential listings for free."
