Bing's mobile site optimised for touchscreen devices
Published: 02 Nov 2009 13:05 GMT
Microsoft on Friday released a refreshed version of its mobile search site (m.bing.com) that is optimised for touchscreen devices. The new page includes finger-friendly buttons that are easier to identify and press, as well as a movie finder that lets users browse what is near them according to time and cinema.
So far, the only devices that work with it are the iPhone/iPod Touch, T-Mobile G1, Samsung Omnia, Verizon Imagio and the Zune HD. Microsoft says support for other phones and portables is coming. In the meantime, phones that cannot access the touch-friendly interface will be defaulted to a simpler version.
Also worth noting is that the touch interface is available only to users in the US for the time being.
