Bing Come to the iPhone
By Joel Feder | December 16, 2009
Bing launched an iPhone app today. This continues Bing’s move to compete with Google on a mobile level. The Bing iPhone application is fine in nature but slow in execution. Even over wifi, the application seemed to drag slightly. Reports are stating that the mobile online interface is snappier and overall a more polished experience at this point.
The apps homepage has buttons for images, movies, maps, businesses, news, and directions. The Movies option uses your location and can show what is playing around you. The Directions option utilizes Bing maps, detailed directions, traffic, and offers different views on the map. The application also has a voice search feature that can use most of the functions by voice.
Overall, there is definitely room for enhancements. Loading and response peeds within the application could both be faster. Adding the ability to buy tickets for movies right through the app would be helpful. This is a valid first attempt but Google should not be worried, yet.
