Microsoft updates Bing for Windows Mobile

Microsoft has announced an updated windows mobile application for its Bing search engine. The application provides voice recognition for processing voice commanded searches.

"which now lets you search by voice, browse maps by subcategories such as distance, get directions with a single click, and save searches and favorites to your phone's home screen."

The new Windows Mobile Bing search client can be downloaded by visiting discoverbing.com/mobile on a PC or by browsing to m.bing.com on a Windows Mobile.

The new feature allows Bing maps to zoom in and around. Rotate 360 degrees in one spot with street level view.

"The difference is that the Google Mobile App can be downloaded onto phones running Android (obviously) and Windows Mobile, along with BlackBerrys, iPhones and Nokia S60 devices. The Bing application, however, can only be downloaded onto Windows Mobile-powered phones, as well as BlackBerrys and Sidekick devices.

The launch is a result of years of work in the Microsoft labs and its product called Bing Maps.
