Bing Mobile Adds New Features

FEATURES

1.:Redmond-based software giant Microsoft released a few months ago a revamped and re-branded search engine, Bing, which also came to mobile phones shortly after the initial launch, and which now has seen as series of improvements on the mobile side. Up until now, the company has been mainly focused on enhancing the capabilities of the search / decision engine for computers, yet currently mobile phone users also have a reason to rejoice, as new features are available for them as well. 

2.:Here's what the company says about the new mobile Bing, “Today we released an update to the Bing for mobile browser at m.bing.com. In addition to being a great resource for local searches, quick answers, and maps, we have some new features to tell you about:
NFL feature – type a team or player and see upcoming games, stats, and scores. While the game is on, you can get real-time updates on the plays. (U.S. only)
Flight status – enter the airline and flight number and get the latest departure and landing times.”

3.:In addition, Microsoft also announced that the new Bing for mobile comes with a wide range of touchscreen optimizations. United States owners of a touchscreen-enabled mobile phone will enjoy a new version of Bing, specifically created for high-resolution handsets, as well as touch optimized navigation and a new Movies feature. “You can get to this version by going to m.bing.com with your iPhone, Zune HD, T-Mobile G1, Verizon Imagio, or Samsung Omnia. We’ll be adding support for new devices over the next couple of months,” the company states.

4.:Bing for mobile phones can be enjoyed by mobile phone users in 31 countries, and it can be accessed on about any type of handset. All that users willing to give it a try need to do is to head to m.bing.com. The new features added to the default search engine, as well as to the touchscreen-optimized one, might attract even more users to it, though it is hard to believe that it will gain much market share against rival Google. Bing is also the default search engine on Verizon phones.
