We are pretty excited to announce the alpha launch of “Restaurant Search” application on T-Mobile G1.

If you are browsing this page on a T-Mobile G1, the you can install our application by downloading it from here
You can see additional screen shots of our application on flickr here
We are still waiting to load our app on to the Android Marketplace which should make it simpler to install.
Here is a quick description of some of the features that may entice you to download our app and use it for restaurant search on the go.
- Viewable Map Area Search - You can zoom-in/zoom-out or drag the map to any area of the search and just hit the “Refresh” button and see top restaurants within that area. You can then filter the restaurants by using the search option to filter by cuisine, menu item, name or any other keyword.
- Comprehensive Search - You can use the search option to find restaurants by city, zip, neighborhood, point of interest, street/cross street and your current location.
- List View - The list view is a convenient way to browse all the restaurants quickly to see their cuisine, ratings, reviews and other relevant information. You can easily tab navigate back and forth between the map and list views.
- Detail View - Each restaurant is rated for food, service, ambiance. We also show a brief summary of the reviews and a list of top sentiments extracted from those reviews. From this view, you can
- Call the restaurant directly
- Get a street view of that restaurant to see the surroundings and neighborhood.
- Write a review of the restaurant
As with any alpha release, we’re hoping you’ll let us know of any issues you come across; we’ll fix them as soon as possible. If you have any questions or feedback, please leave a comment here.
[UPDATE] - GPS acquisition seems to be an issue in many areas, we’re configuring a few additional map settings to provide a graceful workaround.
