Microsoft Updates Bing For Android, Adds Support For HTML 5 And More

Fri, 11 Nov 2011 19:35:52 UTC +00:00

Talk Android

In what I still consider a violation in the highest order, Microsoft has updated its Bing application for Android. They’ve added better support for HTML 5 and added a few other key features: “Today’s update uses HTML5 to blend the mobile browse experience with the app experience so you get a consistent and fast mobile search experience whether you’re using m.bing.com from your browser or the Bing app“ The update includes several cool new features such as: If you’re interested in downloading the application to your device, you can head on over to our popular apps database where you can find a QR code available or you can head on over to the Android Market. Check out the screen shots below and a quick video on Bing’s HTML 5 implementations. Read More

Bing Launches Android Update

Tue, 28 Dec 2010 16:52:42 UTC +00:00

Talk Android

Bing announced yesterday that they are updating the Android version of their mobile app. The new update brings the following updates: “What’s Nearby”, “Bookmark Images”, Expand Your Search”, and “Search, Share, Decide and Book”. First, “What’s Nearby” will automatically list the restaurants, hotels, and other store locations based on your location and search. This is good for if you are trying to find that restaurant near your hotel. Secondly, don’t allow yourself to be tied down to bookmarking the whole webpage that contains an image. By using “Bookmark Images” you will be able to bookmark the actual image itself. Thirdly, make it easy to find anything you need, from your applications, contacts, and the web using Bing’s new “Expand Your Search” update. Finally, using “Search, Share, Decide, and Book” allows you to find the places you would want to eat or stay and then lets you either book them or share them with your company, all Read More

Bing for Android adds location, expands search options | andrew | Androinica

Fri, 24 Dec 2010 19:18:00 UTC +00:00

Androinica

Microsoft has released a slew of updates for Bing on the desktop and mobile platforms. The Android app is included among those updates thanks to a few new features made to Microsoft’s search application. Bing now shows “What’s nearby” when you perform a search. Provided that the user has granted the app permission to view his or her location, Bing will show restaurants, entertainment venues, hotels, government or community centers, and transportation locations by category. It also supplies contact and map information for those locations. Search has also been granted an upgrade as the homescreen widget can search apps or phone-stored information much like the Google Search widget. A search for “Android” will turn up contacts, apps, or files with that word, or you can perform a traditional web search. Bing also taps into third party apps via the Android “Share” function, or use OpenTable and GrubHub to make reservations without Read More

Bing Now Available for All Phones | Android Phone Fans

Phandroid

[Update]: It appears this is only available in the United States, as of the time of this writing. If you’re not in the United States, then it’s likely you won’t find this app unless there’s been a mistake. Not on Verizon but craving a nice helping of Bing? You’re in luck because it seems the period of exclusivity struck up between Microsoft and Verizon has ended and Bing is now on the marketplace for all to download. We know a lot of you aren’t fans of Bing. We get that. But competition is healthy, and who’s to say Microsoft can’t have their own spot in the Android market? Google’s present on nearly every competitors’ OS. And before you say “they’re not direct competitors because they don’t do search,” Google has a very strong presence on Windows Phone 7. Don’t be ashamed to give Bing a spin on your Google Android device. Read More

For those of you looking longingly at your friends on Verizon as they Bing their way through the day, take note. If you find yourself constantly asking "How can I get that wonderful Bing Decision Engine on my phone?", pay heed: Bing (read our full review) is now available on every phone, every carrier, for every decision. That's right, for the low, low price of free in the Android Market, you can forgo Google, forsake the search engine that brought you this fair Android operating system, and Bing your way through life. It's OK. We won't tell. [Bing] Read More

Android continues to surge, Bing replaces Google search on some Verizon phones, and using your phone to jailbreak your PS3. Plus we cover the CNET News app and dig into the world of Widgets and shortcuts. This week's special guest: Senior Associate Editor, Nicole Lee! App of the week Notable App releases Tip of the week E-mail (androidatlas@cnet.com) Hey guys, In episode 13, Justin mentioned the voice recognition ""works very well, except for names"". Well, since the last Google contacts update, there exists a ""Phonetic name"" field for your contacts. In Gmail, open Contacts, open a contact, and in the ""Add"" drop down, there is the field ""Phonetic name"". I can see how they can flesh this out to offer much better voice-to-text and text-to-voice. In the mean time, it would be nice if they popped in a speaker button that would play back the name that you just phonetically entered. Read More

Verizon Gets Bing Android App - PCWorld

Verizon customers with Android phones looking for an alternative to Google can now turn to Bing. In an exclusive deal announced Monday between Verizon and Microsoft, a Bing search app will be offered free from the Big V's Wireless Android Marketplace to users of mobiles running Google's operating system. What's more, the app will be pre-installed on all new Android phones sold by Verizon. Bing's Android incarnation is similar to its computer counterpart. It opens up with an "image of the day." You can gaze at up to seven days of past images with a finger flick. In addition, as with Google mobile search, you can perform voice searches by having the phone turn your speech into text. Microsoft has a Bing iPhone app. But it's unclear how this "exclusive" Verizon-only Bing mobile app will differ - if at all - from what's available on the iPhone. Maps can be searched Read More

Bing debuts its Android app, as Microsoft moves onto Google turf

Mon, 30 Aug 2010 00:00:00 UTC +00:00

TechFlash: Seattle's Technology News Source

Microsoft's Bing team today is debuting its new application for Google Android, expanding its footprint in the mobile world. As a follow-up to the well-received Bing app for the iPhone, the rollout for Android continues the pragmatic approach that the Bing team has been taking in the mobile world -- embracing mobile operating systems that compete with Microsoft's own Windows Mobile and Windows Phone platforms. That said, the Bing rollout on Android is truly the tech industry's equivalent of confronting the enemy on its own turf, given Google's position as the Internet search king. The pressure is on Microsoft to deliver a high-quality release, given the native Google search functionality built in to Android devices. In a blog post announcing the news, the Bing team says its Android app is available as of today to Verizon Wireless customers. No word yet on availability for Android devices from other wireless carriers. We Read More

Bing makes it’s way to Verizon branded devices | DroidDog Android Blog

DroidDog

Microsoft announced today the official release of their Bing app for Android OS. The only problem is that it’s only available for Verizon devices (it shouldn’t take long to get that out of the way). The Bing search app for Android is very similar to the desktop version in that everyday you get a new featured picture, plus the ability to look through previous featured pics. The app also features endless scrolling search with the ability to “swipe through image previews straight to the host site.” Best of all, Bing will work with Android’s speech to text, even allowing you to use Bing Maps navigation. Microsoft really pulled out all the stops today. If you’re using a Verizon branded device, don’t forget to download now. If you do, be sure to let us know what you think. You know what they say, first impressions are everything. Read More

Bing Android App Hits Market | Droid Life: A Droid Community Blog

Droid Life: A Motorola Droid Blog

Writing about an official Bing app on Android seems so wrong in so many ways, but after playing with it for 5 minutes, I’m actually sort of impressed. In cheating on your cat kind of way. (Huh? Exactly.) As you may have heard, Bing (of Microsoft) is one of the big competitors against Google and their search domination. Today, they announced the release of their first Android app that comes fully loaded and doesn’t skimp on features. In fact, you can actually ditch all things Google experience if you choose to just by downloading this new Bing app. Overall, I really like this app. However, you can’t beat Google integration. In the market for F to the R to the E to the E. Gallery: Download: Cheers Wade! Read More

Bing for Android Has Arrived... for Verizon Only

Social Media News and Web Tips – Mashable – The Social Media Guide

by Bing has made its debut on Android, but you can only download the app if you’re a Verizon customer. The new app doesn’t skimp on bringing the full Bing experience to Android. Not only can users search the web with the Bing app, but they can also browse search results for images, movies, maps, news and directions. The addition of Bing Maps is particularly interesting; it works much like Google Maps, providing you not only directions, but layers such as traffic and satellite views. Unfortunately, it doesn’t come with voice navigation. In addition to Maps, Bing for Android includes a simple interface for finding local businesses. While it isn’t as robust as Yelp, it can help you find the basics, like the closest flower shop or grocery store. Bing for Android also brings its own version of Voice Search to the Google OS. While it’s a functional and useful feature, Read More

Microsoft launches Bing Android app for Verizon, but will anyone care? | VentureBeat

Mon, 30 Aug 2010 00:00:00 UTC +00:00

MobileBeat | VentureBeat

After releasing an iPhone app for its Bing search engine last December, Microsoft announced an equivalent Android Bing app today for Verizon users. But since Android is much more deeply integrated into Google’s search and navigation offerings than the iPhone, the release of the Bing app honestly strikes me as curious. Who would actually use this thing? And is Microsoft doing anything with it to entice Android users to choose Bing over Google’s myriad services? At first glance, the answer to the last question would be a simple “no”. The Android app is a dead ringer for its iPhone sibling: The main page features the Bing image of the day, and from there you have access to the app’s various sections, like “Images”, “Movies”, and “Maps”. Also like the iPhone app, the Bing image search is attractive and easy to use, and Microsoft has integrated voice search capabilities into pretty much Read More

Better than google maps When it comes to user friendliness, bing maps got it right. I am using it on Droid X. Its fast, voice recognition is better than google, I like how it shows next turn on the top of the map. Very convenient. Of course if you decided to use Google navigation with battery draining GPS on, then bing maps is useless. They took what google maps and improved it to the max. I like how they optimized voice commands and map view.

Nice UI but flawed database It's rather irritating that Bing nags me to enable location services every time I launch it. Even if I do enable location, most of the "local" news is from New York City, 300 miles away. The address given for one restaurant is actually a townhouse near mine, the restaurant is really several miles away. The addresses for another "nearby" restaurant and a hotel are also each a couple of miles from their actual locations. The Bing UI is well designed, however.

Android Version is bad Got a Droid Bionic 2 days ago. Thought I'd try Bing to get directions for a 10 mile trip. No voice directions! Whereas my Samsung Omnia 2 (Windows Mobile) had good voice directions. Also on the Droid the GPS fix was so crazy....kept jumping all over the place every few seconds. To the point the maps were just no use. First they took away gas prices, now on Android the maps are useless. Oh, well...I tried!
