Microsoft Releases Free Live Search Application For BlackBerry
First of all I have to remark on the precident of Microsoft specifically targeting BlackBerry users for an application. On top of that Microsoft has directly posted about BlackBerry software on a BlackBerry forum. They have announced Live Search on both Pinstack and BlackBerryforums.
Microsoft has released a new free application for BlackBerry devices. Personally I think the Beyond411 is a better choice for 411 searches but Live Search does have its good points. You can get the application at wls.live.com. This application has GPS support so the search functions are GPS assisted if you have a GPS BlackBerry. You can catch more information about this release on the Live Search for BlackBerry page at this link.
