14 DAY TRIAL // At the beginning of this month, Microsoft launched into the wild its latest search-decision engine, Bing, and it seems that the company is getting ready to come to the market with a Bing application for mobile phones as well. The software solution should come as the successor of the already known Live Search Mobile app for Windows Mobile, which was a rather attractive solution in the end.
The new mobile application should be on its way to Windows Mobile-powered handsets in the near future, at least this is what a Twitter post shows. Given the fact that Bing has replaced Live Search, the new app might be only an upgrade/rebranding of the existing software solution, though there are also great chances that the Redmond-based company will deliver a more advanced solution.
As many of you might already know, the Live Search mobile application included intelligent voice search and location-based search capabilities, which, for some time, were not available with other solutions on the market. According to istartedsomething, the new Bing mobile app should include some of the features Live Search sports, though it seems that a wide range of novelties should be included in the package as well.
Among the features the upcoming Bing mobile application is expected to include, we can count support for Sidekick and BREW-supported phones, besides the Windows Mobile and Blackberry devices, and it seems that Microsoft will have the app present in all Verizon BREW phones that will be launched starting with November this year. In addition, the service is expected to become available in the European market as well, while the UK, France and Italy will also have local content on it.
According to the news, the service and the application are very likely to be launched either in August or September. The screenshots below are meant to provide us with an idea of what the app for Windows Mobile should look like, thought there are great chances that some design modifications will be applied and that some of the new Bing features will be included in the app too.
