Microsoft Releases Updates to Live Search

Posted by: Ravi on Oct 16 2007 - 665 views

Microsoft Corp. announced the final updates to the fall release of its Live Search service, introducing new services and features to its local and mobile search offerings.

source : aximsite

The new release includes voice input, gas prices, hours of operation for business and Live Search 411. And they also annouced Live Search (beta) for BlackBerry devices.

I am using Live Search on my Blackjack from quite sometime and I really like it. It recognized the BT GPS without any problem and provides turn by turn directions. (Google maps never recognized my BT GPS). I installed the new release today and checked the gas price at the pump close to my home and it says the price is as of Oct 14th. Do we really like to know two days old gas price?

To download the new release directly to your mobile phone, vist wls.live.com from your mobile browser.

Review : PocketBreeze 5.3

Posted by: Ravi on Aug 28 2007 - 2,104 views

Introduction: The real estate market may not be hot these days, at least in the US, but the real estate on the today screen on any mobile device is always hot and precious. It is the place where we want to put the information that we need the most. There are so many today plug-ins and so little space on the today screen, selecting the best and most important can be a difficult and frustrating venture.

So, we all come up with our favorite tricks to grab back just a little extra Today screen space. I remember trying the hacks to remove shell tray (that was a little bit easy) and to remove the soft keys from the bottom of the today screen, when WM5 came out, to make more space to fit as many plug-ins as I could on the today screen.

And then there is PocketBreeze. PocketBreeze is a tab based today screen plug-in developed by SBSH Mobile Software, one of the leading mobile software developers. It is designed to replace the default today screen that comes with the device. More than just displaying your contacts, calendar and other PIM information, PocketBreeze can replace all other plug-ins on your today screen. The most recent upgrade to version V5.3, released on 7/29/2007, includes a plethora of new features, including integration of MyList, their brand new list manager application.
