#3Dang - I seriously loved this free service. Had it in on my favorite list and used it once a week at least. Hopefully someone else will make something similar.

#4Well this stinks both because I used it all the time, and it completely shuts out non-smartphone users from those services.

#5Used this a number of times in a pinch. It'll definitely be missed. Makes me want a smartphone a little more.

I try to keep this in mind with respect to all "free" products, including others from Google. E.g. Google Apps Standard: Nice while it lasts, but don't invest in its sticking around.

Same here. Though I much prefer the Star-Trek-like, simple voice interface to interacting with a smartphone.
There should be more voice apps like GOOG 411, not less.

#10Oh well, no more free phone calls that you sign up as businesses on goog411. It was fun while it lasted.
