Bing Search Makes Way to Verizon Android Devices

on 08/30/2010 13:44 PDT

Thanks to deal between Microsoft and Verizon Wireless, Bing may be powering your Droid‘s search result on Google’s mobile Android OS. The Bing search app will come pre-bundled with new Android devices shipping from Verizon Wireless, and will also be a free downloadable app in App Market for users to install.

Also part of the Bing deal would be Bing Maps and Bing voice search. Bing Maps will give driving directions and also retrieve locally relevant search results and Bing voice search, as its name implies, will give users the option to search with their voice.

It’s unclear at this time when the Bing search app will be available for handsets not on Verizon’s network.

Android Android is mobile operating system from Google. The software was originally built by a company called Android Inc, that was purchased by Google in 2005. From its modest debuts, Android has become a powerhouse that powers not only smartphones and tablet, but a host of other less high-profile devices and gadgets. Although Android is not a community-driven project, Google does release the source code as open-source under the Apache license.
