Journal Info is not limited to OA journals. But when you look up a non-OA journal, it tells you that it's not OA and suggests some OA journals as alternatives. For an example, see the entry for Advances in Cancer Research from Elsevier.
The entry also tells you the publisher, ISSN, the self-archiving policy, subscription price per article, subscription price per citation, for- or non-profit status, and how the journal rates on some quality and impact metrics. For rapid scanning, it gives a green tick mark for each parameter (e.g. access, price, impact) on which the journal falls into the top of half of the journals covered, and a red x when it falls into the bottom half.
Today the service covers 18,000 journals and is still growing. For more information, see the FAQ, which is in English. There is a long press release in Swedish (June 28) and a short one in English (June 29).

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
I recommend the OA tracking project (OATP) as the best way to stay on top of new OA developments. You can read the OATP feed on a blog-like web page or subscribe to it by RSS, email, or Twitter. You can also help build the feed by tagging new developments you encounter.
