My Favorite Mobile Application (Works on WM, Blackberry, Other Devices)

  • Article

If you have not tried out Live Search for Mobile you are definitely missing out.  I have been using it for several months.   There is a versions available for all flavors of Windows Mobile (2003 and later).  There is a version for BlackBerry 4.0 or later as well as a version "for any Mobile Phone".

Here are download links that you navigate to on the device itself:

Windows Mobile and Blackberry:

For other mobile phones:

I probably use my mobile Inbox more, but email is not my favorite application:-)  Live Search for Windows Mobile is truly my favorite mobile phone application.  Here is a screen shot:

I use the app to give a quick traffic check when I jump in my car and need to go cross town.

When traveling I use it to navigate between the airport, hotel, and talk location.  It works great on the fly or instead of printing directions I will put the locations into Live Search for Windows Mobile before leaving so that I can get quick directions when on the road.  Just click the "Choose New Location" link to get started.

I often use it to find my favorite beverage when say in New York.  I locate myself, enter "coffee" in the search box, click search, and then go to Menu | Map All to see what's nearby on the results page.

The green flagis the location I chose on a map with all of the nearby coffee locations plotted.

Live Search for Windows Mobile will integrate with a GPS connected to the device but I use it most of the time without a GPS.  I can usually enter a nearby location and navigate the Virtual Earth maps to find my location or I'll put in the address of where I am (lost:-)) and start from there.
