Windows Live Search Beta For Mobile

Dec 1, 2006 at 9:12am ET by Barry Schwartz

The Live Search Blog announced the release of Live Search Mobile client for your mobile device. The mobile client allows you to use Windows Live’s “local search, maps, driving directions, and live traffic information.” I have not downloaded it to my Treo, but I like Gizmodo’s Windows Live Search For Mobile vs. Google Maps Mobile write up.

I wonder if they’ll offer an opt-in service to triangulate the location of a mobile and automatically use it as the starting point for directions?

While I would much rather use Google Maps, having a native client on my Windows Mobile phone is leading me in the direction of Live here. The client looks nice, and I’m sure it’s faster than the Google client.
