You can also use google from your cell phone, and it doesn't have to be a fancy smart phone. Just needs text messaging.
Type in a word or phrase, like "weather washington, dc" and send it via text message to 46645 (the phone-pad number for GOOGL), and you'll get a response back in less than a minute.
I use it all the time to check baseball scores when I'm out and about.
