People for iPhone/iPod Touch

If you're not satisfied enough using WhitePages Mobile for iPhone, then you might want to try this app from Caffeinated Cocoa (an intriquing name indeed! ;-p); called People. It basically works the same and cost the same too: free! With People, you can look up phone numbers via an online white pages service such as WhitePages.com & GeoNames.org; plus it offers additional features that could be useful for you:
  • Search over 180 million public listings (80% of US adults) using just the information you know- a name, partial address, or phone number.
  • See a list of search results. Then, with one tap, call the person, view the address in the Maps application, or add the person to your contacts.
  • Find people near your current location automatically. Perfect if you are looking for someone's house, but forget their exact address.

But People got some quirks and bugs, that Philip Michaels from Macworld has explained in his review. I recommend you read his review first, before trying People on your iPhone. Good luck!
