Windows Live Search for Windows Mobile and J2ME compatible phones has finally emerged from beta testing and gone final so if you have a compatible PDA or phone, then it's definitely worth installing.This is definitely the best search tool for mobile devices at the moment and Google Maps Mobile has a ways to go before it's in the same league. Specify a location by city, address, post code or even just a point on a map and then choose a search term such as a name, business type, school, etc. and it'll return results from the area your looking in. You can then view it on a map, get driving directions to it, send it a text message or dial its phone number.
You also browse by business or category, view maps and get driving directions from place to place. Obviously if you have a GPS capable device, it'll take advantage of that too. USA based users can also get current traffic conditions for major cities but I expect they'll add the UK in due time.I've got a GPRS/GPS enabled hp iPAQ and had been using the beta version with good results so it'll be nice to get a final release installed.
Get it here.
