2. The computerized information and display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the at least one computer program is further configured to, when executed: receive a user input causing the computerized information and display apparatus to enter a mode whereby speech inputs can be provided by the user to locate entities as part of a search session; when in the mode, receive a user speech input via the speech input apparatus from a user of the computerized information and display apparatus, the user speech input consisting of only a name or part of a name of an entity which the user wishes to locate; generate a digitized representation of the user speech input, the generation of the digitized representation comprising analog-to-digital conversion (ADC) of the user speech input; cause recognition of the name or part of the name based on the digitized representation, the recognized name or part of the name enabling search of at least one database for at least partly matching entries; cause presentation of a listing of at least two at least partly matching entities identified via a search of the at least one database, the presentation comprising at least one of: (i) an audible prompt via a speech synthesis apparatus in data communication with at least a portion of the data processing apparatus and prompting the user to provide additional input; and (ii) a prompt rendered on the touch screen input and display device; receive second user speech input via the speech input apparatus, the second user speech input comprising information not present in the user speech input, the information relating to the entity; generate a digitized representation of the second user speech input, the generation of the digitized representation of the second user speech input comprising ADC of the second user speech input; cause recognition of the information not present in the user speech input relating to the entity, the recognition of the information not present in the user speech input relating to the entity enabling logical appending of the information not present in the user speech input relating to the entity to the name or part of the name of the entity, such that a single matching entity can be identified from the listing, the single matching entity having second digital image data associated therewith in a data storage location, the second digital image data configured to provide the user with a visually perceptible rendering of the location of the single matching entity; and cause presentation on the touch screen input and display device of the second digital image data, the second digital image data retrieved from the data storage location.
2. The computerized information and display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the at least one computer program is further configured to, when executed: receive a user input causing the computerized information and display apparatus to enter a mode whereby speech inputs can be provided by the user to locate entities as part of a search session; when in the mode, receive a user speech input via the speech input apparatus from a user of the computerized information and display apparatus, the user speech input consisting of only a name or part of a name of an entity which the user wishes to locate; generate a digitized representation of the user speech input, the generation of the digitized representation comprising analog-to-digital conversion (ADC) of the user speech input; cause recognition of the name or part of the name based on the digitized representation, the recognized name or part of the name enabling search of at least one database for at least partly matching entries; cause presentation of a listing of at least two at least partly matching entities identified via a search of the at least one database, the presentation comprising at least one of: (i) an audible prompt via a speech synthesis apparatus in data communication with at least a portion of the data processing apparatus and prompting the user to provide additional input; and (ii) a prompt rendered on the touch screen input and display device; receive second user speech input via the speech input apparatus, the second user speech input comprising information not present in the user speech input, the information relating to the entity; generate a digitized representation of the second user speech input, the generation of the digitized representation of the second user speech input comprising ADC of the second user speech input; cause recognition of the information not present in the user speech input relating to the entity, the recognition of the information not present in the user speech input relating to the entity enabling logical appending of the information not present in the user speech input relating to the entity to the name or part of the name of the entity, such that a single matching entity can be identified from the listing, the single matching entity having second digital image data associated therewith in a data storage location, the second digital image data configured to provide the user with a visually perceptible rendering of the location of the single matching entity; and cause presentation on the touch screen input and display device of the second digital image data, the second digital image data retrieved from the data storage location. 3. The computerized information and display apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the presentation on the touch screen input and display device of the second digital image data occurs contemporaneous with the presentation on the touch screen input and display device of the at least digital image data.
