New version of Live Search Mobile for Windows Mobile - released by Microsoft
January 15, 2009 [General] | By Edward J. R.
It is nice to see that some features of this application are "Windows Mobile only"... and some of the new features are impressing:
- Enhanced Locate Me. The Live Search Home screen includes a Locate Me control that works both on GPS-enabled phones and without GPS.
- Bird’s Eye View. This cool new map view shows a low-level, three-dimensional perspective of a location
- Predictive text in the search control

Commentary: this application is a good example of Microsoft's potential: ability to use synergies from other divisions also for the benefit of Windows Mobile. Unfortunately still no Xbox application for Windows Mobile (it was promised in past) and it looks like some divisions of Microsoft prefer iPhone, so Microsoft fails to capitalize on possible synergies ...
