Live Search for Windows Mobile v2 Released

The latest version of our Live Search for Windows Mobile client is out the door! We continue to improve this great service by offering new requested functionality such as movie showtimes, restaurant ratings and better GPS navigation. As always, you can find the latest bits by pointing your Windows Mobile device browser to https://wls.live.com.

Here's an interesting review published yesterday by CNET:

What’s new in V2?

• Movie Showtimes:  Want to see a movie but don’t know what’s playing?   Get Movie Showtimes near you and be on your way! 
• More Local Data:  Want to go out for dinner but not sure which restaurant to pick?  Let your fellow restaurant goers help you out – make a decision based on user ratings.
• Maps:   View Mobile Virtual Earth maps wherever you are.  For improved performance, pop in your storage card to enable the large cache option.
• Directions: Lost?  Get found with better support for GPS integration and improved turn-by-turn navigation.  We’ll even prompt you to auto-reroute if you get lost!

  Awesome tool for travellers like me who are only reachable on mobile! Been gping round Europe and now that I'm in the US it's a must; I got the Windows Live Search running together with my Deluo BT GPS and I'm getting to all the places I search for. You get the info fast and precisely. No need for large screens. Can keep in touch with friends back home comfortably thru email and SMS.
