TV Guide and 4INFO are getting together to bring TV listings directly to cellphones. You will now have the ability to quickly search for channel listings, specific programs, and time-based programming from any mobile phone via SMS or WAP. The service is available to all mobile phone users regardless of carrier, and will allow TV fans to easily locate air dates, times, and channels for their favorite programming while out of town, or just on the go.

This builds on 4INFO’s ability to deliver sports scores, yellow page listings, stock quotes, movie times, hotel reservations, weather forecasts, horoscopes, flight status, package tracking, fantasy sports, drink recipes, and yes, even pickup lines.

So this solves the problem of how to get the girl but why can’t we have a DVR in the U.S. that is programmable over your phone. If 4INFO can do that for me I will be screaming accolades all the way home (while managing my baseball team, grabbing some drinks, on my plane, while tracking my Fedex, managing my portfolio...)
