Live Search Mobile is a search tool for mobile devices from Microsoft as part of their Windows Live range of services. It will be designed to format search results to show up to ten on screen at a time, and allow the user to save the results to the device.
There are three ways Live Search Mobile can be accessed:
* SMS (Text Messaging)
* Mobile Browsing
* Mobile Application
The Mobile Application is available as a J2ME application for non-Windows Mobile phones, and as a richer .NET application for Windows Mobile devices. It provides white and yellow page searches, maps (road and aerial satellite), driving directions, and traffic conditions.
This application can be used to transform your mobile phone into a navigation system with the aid of a GPS receiver. It allows you to search for a location, select it as the destination and then calculate a route to that place. By using a GPS you will be able to see your current position in the map and as you progress on the route you will get visual indications and text that shows you where to turn, etc. A data plan for your phone is required to be able to download the maps. The program shows real-time traffic in selected US cities, features automatic rerouting and is available at no cost.
