Bing app for iPhone reaches App Store racks

Technology.am (Dec 16 , 2009) — Microsoft announced that a Bing application customized for Apple’s much-loved iPhone has hit the virtual shelves of its longtime rival’s online App Store.

“We like everybody and the key thing is what platforms and experiences users would like and how to meet their requirements,” Bing for Mobile product manager Justin Jed told AFP at a launch celebration in San Francisco.

The free of charge application lets iPhone users knock on an icon to search the Internet using Microsoft’s recently launched Bing technology.

Versions of mobile Bing software modified to Blackberry devices made by Canada-based Research In Motion and smart phones based on Microsoft Windows software were shipped about a week ago.

“We consider mobile Web and mobile services are an enormous behavioral experience that customers are going after,” Jed said. “If users want to interact with the Internet on their mobile, we are going to be there to hang out with them.”
