At the 3GSM World Congress in Barcelona, Microsoft announced the official release of a client application for Windows Mobile devices as well as compatible J2ME capable devices in the US and UK. Some new features have been added, since the beta started back in November. The main features of Live Search for Mobile are:
Category-based local searching – Search businesses and restaurants through the Live.com category system.
Maps and Directions – Get maps of your area and directions to your destination. Hook up a GPS unit to search around and track your current position.
