MSN Launches Live Search for Mobile Beta

December 4th, 2006 by pamela

As mobile web use continues to grow, MSN has announced the beta launch of Live Search Mobile client, a local search mobile service offering users three different ways to search.

Offering a mobile software application download, mobile browsing and via the map at mobile.live.com/search, the service makes pulling up information on the go even easier.

MSN’s mobile client allows users to search for directions, get up to date traffic information and search maps quickly and easily on mobile devices, pulling maps directly from Microsoft’s main servers and making it easy to click and drag, as well as zoom in and out of maps.

The service is even accessible via text message for those who don’t have a web enabled mobile. By simply sending a text with a request such as “music stores, washington” you can immediately get the nearest applicable business’ addresses and phone numbers.

See more about the US only application at Live.com’s mobile search about page.
