Hear All About It (On Your Cell Phone)

When you think of an museum audio guide, you probably think of those large devices that hang around your neck, or the ones that look like giant cell phones.

However, with almost everyone owning a cell phone nowadays, audio guides have taken to the great outdoors. New York's Central Park is offering an audio guide accessible by cell phone. Want to know about, say, the Sheep Meadow? Matthew Broderick will tell you about it if you call 646-462-0997, followed by 35. Of course, you don't have to be in Central Park to hear about it.

This service is offered by a company in San Francisco, Guidebycell. A map of other locations that offer audio guidance can be found here.
