Bing on the iPhone

After reading Ahmed’s article What if IBM and Apple Merge?!,
I found an article posted yesterday, “Microsoft’s Bing app debuts on iPhone”

Seeing as though Apple owns iPhone and Microsoft owns Bing, I thought it was ironic.

This free app’s description on the iTunes store is: "Make decisions and get where you need to go with Bing. See the Bing daily image and related trivia on the home screen. Search maps or the Web with your voice--even say an address. Use Image Search and flick through previews. Download Bing today to find stuff nearby and get there fast."

Some of its features include easy access to voice search, tips and tricks on the home page, it offers the ability to add pushpins and save locations called “Locate Me” and it can show multiple locations on its map.

Although this is not the first app Microsoft has put on the iPhone, it goes to show how popular the iPhone is and will be.
