I don't think it's a widget or will there be one, it's just a Web 2.0 app for iPhone, like a host of others. It's cool, but it doesn't need to be a native widget at all. In fact, except in cases where it's absolutely required -- WiFi Store -- or just more efficient -- iChat client -- Apple wants to keep the number of native apps to a minimum.

it could be in the future. I could see that, I believe ATT owns yellowpages.com
