Bing for iPad – Impressive App from Microsoft

Microsoft has released Bing for the iPad. It’s a gorgeous, well designed app that will no doubt have me using Bing more often.

In addition to Bing search, the app will give users a quick look at the local weather, news, maps, movies, trends, finances and more.

Features:
• Swipe through our touch enabled movie listings, news articles, trending topics, local businesses and other rich, immersive search results.

• Stay current with the latest news, traffic, weather, stock quotes, movies and popular searches from the main screen.

• Bing Local and Map integration to help you find the places you are looking for from directions with real-time tracking to immersive road, traffic, aerial and “bird’s eye” views.

• Follow the latest news and trending topics with beautifully iPad optimized results with rich images and magazine inspired layouts.

• Tell Bing what you are searching for with voice activated search.

• Wonderful touch friendly, grid view of image searches, with source site details and full page preview.

• Easily navigate between Bing results and websites as Bing frames the site to make it easy to return the search or to launch a new one.

Instead of me spending a lot of time reviewing a free app, just take a couple of minutes and try it out.

Get Bing for free at the App Store.
