Smartphone Searching

I downloaded Mobile LiveSearch to my Palm Treo yesterday. I'm interested in voice recognition on the phone and particular if this can be done on a website and not a program on the phone, more on that later this month. Anyway, the application was slick and the features it has are impressive, including the voice recognition. The mapping function was nice and yes you can drag the map around just like Google maps etc. One issue that was frustrating was the scrolling menu bar at the bottom to select. The problem being was that I wanted to scroll through and kept hitting a button and launching gas prices or the map but not the feature when I wanted the movies. As boring as it sounds, a single text list would be better rather then the "hip" scrolling feature. I qualify this complaint that I did not use the stylus and I have not reviewed all the features, maybe I could change over to text. I'll try to get some screen shots and post them here as soon as possible
