“Not only have we focused on making the app beautiful and functional, we’ve also focused on making search easy,” the Bing team said in a blog post.
Microsoft has been striving to gain ground on Google, which dominates the Internet search market and has customised applications for iPads that feature voice queries as well as location-sensing capabilities.
Google applications for iPad include search, maps, Gmail, and video-sharing service YouTube.
