Microsoft Bing comes to the iPhone

17 December 2009 23 views 2 Comments

This might come as a surprise to some but even Microsoft is developing iPhone apps.  Microsoft released a version of their popular search engine Bing for the iphone platform.

Bing is a search engine developed by Microsoft in an effort to compete with Google in the search market.  Personally I’ve visited the site once just to check it out but I’d hardly call it a Google killer.

The Bing iphone app has been back with some really positive reviews.  The positives being the voice search feature that even allows you to speak addresses to view on a map.  However to it’s discredit it seems they rushed a bit in the voice recognition part of the equation because it seems to mishear your voice commands more often then it gets it right.

All told a search engine app seems to be a worthy app for your screen real estate but I’m not sure you need both Google and Bing so you decide which you like better and let us know.

    i think that Bing is not as good as Google. Google would still index new websites faster than Bing. Microsoft would still need a lot of catching to do with GoogleBot.

    I use both Bing and Google search engine and i dont see much difference in their search results. I use google for searching hard to find academic topics and Bing for general search.
