Bing for Mobile Browse Updates: Facebook Sharing, Maps, News, and More

I’m a bit behind on this one, sorry, but Microsoft has updated its Bing for Mobile browse experience to help people make faster, more informed decisions while on the go. Microsoft says the key new features include: Share on Facebook: Quickly and easily share images, local business details and apps (iOS devices only) with Facebook friends, making it easy  for them to comment and “Like” what you find interesting and for you to get their opinion while on the go. Maps/List Split View: Now people can get both the map and the list in a single view, making it easier to see business listings and directions or transit and walking directions on one page. News: View the day’s news, flip through the top headlines and images and dive deeper into specific categories, including Entertainment, Sports and Science/Technology, among others. Search History/Trending Topics: Easily reference past searches on your mobile device with the touch of a button, or view the most popular searches on Bing at any given time with Trending Topics. These changes impact any HTML 5-capable mobile device, including iPhone, Android, and Blackberry. More info at the Bing Blog.
