Comments on: Mobile Bing Lacks Aussie Zing http://www.lifehacker.com.au/2009/06/mobile-bing-lacks-aussie-zing/ tips and downloads to help you at work and play Sun, 22 Nov 2009 01:13:58 +1100 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: thumbcontent http://www.lifehacker.com.au/2009/06/mobile-bing-lacks-aussie-zing/comment-page-1/#comment-9605 thumbcontent Thu, 04 Jun 2009 10:01:59 +0000 http://www.lifehacker.com.au/?p=335826#comment-9605 I tweeted about this on launch, same experience here. I tried Sydney Pizza and didn't get location specific results (although a picture of a Pizza which is helpful -not). Same query on Google Mobile and click to call links to restaurants, maps, etc. Google 1. bing 0. Like you, also experienced the Windows Live branding on bing mobile. If Microsoft want to beat Google they need to be as a minimum equally as compelling as Google, then find that must have new feature that makes me sit up and take notice. Comparing bing mobile to Google's download mobile app (with voice activated search) just makes bing look even more antiquated. A disappointing experience with bing and I won't be back.
