Here's the key statement in the post: "It only seems natural that mobile search will be the next evolution of real estate search - being tied to desktop seems at odds with the mobile nature of a real world hunt for a home (see House Hunting On The Go). "Ultimately, the killer app here will be one that bridges both worlds. One where I can start my search on line, send it to my phone, plot a route to take me round the neighborhoods, rate the properties while on the road (good/bad) and have it sync back to my desktop on my return for follow up."

In fact, most if not all could be done on a modern smartphone with GPS without that much of an issue. Admittedly the experience would not have the "cool" factor associated with iPhone.
