As Microsoft inches closer to finalizing the Windows Phone seven running system, it can be continuing to roll out programs of interest to the current Windows Cellular 6.x user base.
On Might eleven, Microsoft;s Bing group announced it was introducing tweaks towards the Bing application on legacy Windows Phone devices, as well as new turn-by-turn navigation that builds on Bing Maps and Tellme voice technologies.
The Bing residence page for Windows Cellular six.x telephone users has gotten a face-lift, also as enhanced navigation “to give people faster access to common searches,
Office 2010 Professional, such as Movies and Traffic,” according to a Bing Community blog post.
When Microsoft rolled out its Bing application for the iPhone late last year, a number of Windows Phone customers complained that the iPhone app was far nicer looking and more useful than the Bing for Windows Telephone one.
Microsoft is going to continue to support Windows Phone customers running Windows Cellular six.x for a few years to come. (I;ve asked for a more precise date; stay tuned.) But the Mobile staff is putting almost all of its backing behind Windows Phone 7 and its successors, which run a different and incompatible (though still Windows Compact-based) running technique.
