Cool – that is high praise if it takes the place of the Maps app on the first home screen. 🙂

I like Bing App for Showtimes and its fast smooth image search. The direction description is smarter than native app (e.g., if you see BP on the left you went too far). I was hoping so see turn-by-turn automated directions like the Live app for Windows Mobile 6 on my old Sprint Touch. I am not sure, but it might moves Maps off my first home screen, which is a big statement for me.

Well, as an example, yesterday I was messing around with it, and did a search for my girlfriends name and a few other contacts that I have. And I was amazed that it had lots of results, and that they were acurate, i.e age, location, etc etc. In addition, it was fast, too! Even just now, I wanted to know the Avatar showing times at the cinema near my house. I did NOT select a field, I just entered Avatar in the search box at the top of the screen, and it brough up the cinema across the street (2 minutes away, literally) with the times etc. Needless to say, I'll be at the cinema on Sunday at 11:15 – I'm just saying 🙂

I'm rather impressed with Bing, and I've been using it MORE than Safari lately.
