Windows Live Mobile Search 2 Released

A new, updated version of Windows Mobile Live Search, Microsoft's answer to Google Mobile Maps, has just been released.

Version 2 of Mobile Live Search is said have improved navigation, caching, movie listings, restaurants, GPS and traffic reporting.

Microsoft has even added web-based Live Search option that allows you to look up businesses, get maps, news, weather, stock quotes. It looks pretty good.

I personally like Live Search better than Google Mobile Maps but Google has intergration with contacts. I just wish Microsoft would add that feature and I'd never look at Google maps again.

BTW, Live Search requires a connection to the internet to download maps, give you direction and business lookups. It works with both WiFi and cellular data (GPRS, EDGE, EVDO, etc).
