Posted By: Sarah Perez | Dec 26th, 2007 @ 10:10 AM

If you haven't checked out Windows Live Search for Mobile lately, you should give it another look now that a new version has been released. This month's update brings a number of new features and improvements, including 1-click directions for all businesses and street addresses (wow!) in the U.S.; additional details for U.S. businesses, including neighborhood, business category, cuisine (restaurants); hours of operation (when available); photos (up to two); and reviews (up to ten) for U.S. businesses. In addition, improved movie show times and critics' ratings are available through Instant Answers. Also, all maps now have more interactivity - clicking on the maps now zooms in and out to pre-defined levels or advances to the next waypoint for routing maps. You can use Live Search on any mobile phone by visiting m.live.com from your phone's browser. Blackberry and Windows Mobile users can download the search app from wls.live.com.
