Microsoft rolls out Bing mobile updates for IOS and Android users
Search OPERATOR Microsoft has revealed large patches of Bing mobile website, although Windows 7 Phone (WP7) users must wait to see the benefits.
Microsoft Wednesday rolled out some updates to the Bing for Mobile browser service including real-time public transport updates for selected cities and the inclusion of the apps in results for searches on the iPhone.
Microsoft says that updates to Bing for mobile phones is better and faster image search, real-time transit information and use and HTML5 to do it.
Most of the updates available for iPhone and Android users, but not Microsoft's own Windows 7 Phone customers.
The only problem is, the version of Internet Explorer included with WP7 not support HTML5, then just IOS Android and smartphones can use the latest version of Bing mobile.
That's because services are built with HTML 5, as Windows 7 Phone does not support yet.
With this overhaul, Microsoft is trying to make Bing a portal for smartphone users, not only search, but information, weather, shopping tips, film information and an application search facility.
The company has promised an update later this year that will include an HTML 5 browser for Windows 7 Phone devices.
Although Google is trying to offer many of these functions with different programs, Microsoft has decided to put it all in one place.
As part of Bing update, users visiting m.bing.com click on directions and on the bus icon to see how to take the bus or other public transport to the destination.
After all, it would be reasonable to expect that the latest updates to Bing mobile will be available for users of Microsoft's operating system.
In addition, users will be able to click on the bus round for the real-time information on when a bus arrives.
Instead, the best Bing experience to be had only on smart phones that do not run WP7.The weaknesses in Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser on WP7 was shown yesterday when Microsoft suggested that Web developers should use a \if statement \to download CSS files to insure sites display properly on WP7 devices.
The real-time data is available for Boston, San Francisco, Seattle, Chicago and Los Angeles.
Microsoft has said it will release Internet Explorer 9 for WP7 later this year.
Google Maps on the iPhone displays the transport routes, but not necessarily real-time information about buses.
Until then, it recommends that users should not worry, as these updates will work well at the time.
When using the Bing to search, iPhone users can now get the results for the relevant iPhone apps in addition to the regular search results.
μ.
This is a great way to discover new fluke great programs, wrote Andy Chu, director of product management for Bing for Mobile, in a blog mail about the updates.
Microsoft has also made Image Search faster and smoother, and re-organized shopping feature Bing mobile browser app, he said.
When you search for movies, users will now find the results organised by time and the nearest theater, in addition to reviews, trailers and other information.
In addition, he said that when users enter a city name in the search box on the weather, the weather that the city look even before they finish writing the name.
Chu wrote that the updates were released today, but they do not seem to be yet available everywhere.

IDC claims that Windows Phone 7 is doing OK
Beancounters at IDC, down under, have come to the conclusion that the Microsoft'sWindows Phone 7-operating system makes it pretty good.
HTC's new HD7 will go on sale at Telstra shops from March 29 Microsoft release Windows 7 Phone in Australia review: Windows Phone 7Aussie launch plagued by supply issue Microsoft has fought back from the dead in smartphones with Windows 7 Phone have a stronger start than did Google's Android, according to analyst firm IDC Australia. IDC, which tracks mobile phone sales on a quarterly basis, today announces its results for the 4th quarter last year. Windows 7 Phone, which went on sale 20 October, snagged a 4.4 percent share in the quarter. Ad: Storey continues belowNokia's Symbian maintained first place with a 32.2 percent share, followed by Apple's IOS (30.3 percent) and Android (25 percent). The above figures are only for smartphones, which now make up almost two thirds of mobile phone shipments.
Despite the fact that Microsoft has been cagey about the number of phones running its operating system, which is a bad sign, IDC sees a rosy future for it.
Given all that to see a 4.4 percent share in the quarter launch is a very promising start.
In a report, IDC said that Windows 7 Phone had a stronger start than Google'sAndroid.
Novosel noted that Google's Android platform took 18 months to make a serious impact on the market.
By tracking the mobile phone sales on a quarterly basis, IDC said that Windows 7 Phone, which went on sale 20 October, snagged a 4.4 percent share in the quarter.
So WP7 has certainly had a stronger start than Android did, even if it comes into the market with a much more competitive than when the Android launch, he said.
Nokia'sSymbian maintained first place with a 32.2 percent share, followed by Apple'SiO with 30.3 per cent and Android by a quarter of the market.
But Novosel mainains still that Android will be the number one platform for smart phones before the middle of this, possibly as early as the end of this month.
IDC telecommunications analyst Mark Novosel said WP7 has had a strong start, pointed out, given the short time it has been in the market and the strong growth from Android, Apple, and a large increase in Symbian Q4.He that a 4.4 percent stake in launch quarter was a very promising start.
The latest handsets WP7, the HTC HD7, launched yesterday and will be available March 29 exclusively on Telstra's network.
WP7 has certainly had a stronger start than Android did, even if it comes into the market with a much more competitive than when launched Android, said Novosel.
The device, which will sell for $ 768 directly, has a large 4.3-inch screen and a flipout stand for convenient video viewing.
There will still be Android which is the market possibly as early as the end of this month.
Novosel said he believed that the HD7 was a very clever device, and he particlarly liked the big screen.
Viewing Novosel comments it is fairly clear that he is a WP7 user.
When they release the update and bring multitasking to the platform, it will take a whole new dimension.
He said the one thing I particularly like the WP7 is the e-experience.
One thing I particularly like the WP7's e-mail experience - it's very intuitive, for exampe to select multiple messages, you just turn left on the e-mail, and it brings up multiple select option, e-mail is beautiful.
Novosel said it is very intuitive, to select several messages you can only turn left on the e-mail, and it brings up multiple select option, e-mail is displayed nicely.
One thing we've noticed about smart phones is the need for users to evangelize their choice.
But he could be right.
With Vole's agreement with Nokia all signed and sealed, and the rubber trunk maker moving away from Symbian, is it too early to write Microsoft off.

Microsoft Windows Phone 7 "NoDo" update ready... ish
Windows 7 Phone owners in the UK will have to wait until next week to update their phones with Microsoft NoDo (no donuts) software version that adds cut and paste and other features.
Win a Phone 7'NoDo'update is not until April of OzBy Alex Zaharov-ReuttThursday, March 24, 2011 2:48 p.m. IT - Mobility Microsoft is testing the solitaire of Windows 7 Phone Users in Australia with updates to copy and paste NoDo upgrade a big fat no go to April - you have to wait What's your next move Play the game like no one else can?.

UK network has told the Guardian that they will be rolling out the service to contract customers over the next 10 days, but the exact time varies between them.
This is the opposite of the PC world, where an update is immediately available to everyone when it is available, the same is true for Apple's iDevices
The update, which will be available through the Microsoft site and requires owners to connect their phone to the computer to implement it, is the first major upgrade since Windows 7 Phone was released in the UK in late October, and will be rolled out by operators around the world.
.
Some users of SIM-free phones will already have the warning, told The Guardian UK network.
It is the opposite of Google's Android phones, most of which can not update before the carriers and Google blesses specific phone OS upgrades, which could take months
The delay until the update has been partly caused by the network'requirements - imposed on all handset manufacturers - to test the patch thoroughly to insure it will work with their individual systems.
.
UK carriers have tested the patch to ensure it will work with phones that they sell and rolling it out cautiously, after a previous service performed some Samsung phones useless.
Although Microsoft initially said it wanted to bring Windows 7 Phone updates to all Windows 7 Phone devices, smoothed it on whether these updates will be immediately available to all owners
The updates for HTC and LG 7 Trophy Optimus 7 (WP7 the units that Vodafone offers) have been approved by Vodafone and will be distributed later - MS has started to gradually roll out the update, start small with customers with open market handsets this week.
.
Updates will be via the PC suite, said a spokeswoman Vodafone.
Now we know that it is not the case, and while the delays do not seem nearly as Android-esque which makes no harm competition, the glacier is slow compared to Apple
A spokesman for O2 said: We are working with Microsoft to bring Windows 7 Phone NoDo service to our customers HTC HD7 as soon as possible.
.
We currently expect it to start in early April.
C'mon, Microsoft - if you are copying Apple, can not you do it properly? Why re-model, although kings of fragmentation, Google Tags:? Microsoft, Alex Zaharov-Reutter, Update, Windows 7 Phone, copy and paste, no go, NoDoPlease enable JavaScript in your browser to mail your comment!
Everything Everywhere - combining Orange and T-Mobile - said: Our current plan is for Microsoft to roll out our approved version next week, in mains with other operators.
