I have a (very small) machine that goes BING!

Windows Live for Mobile is now Bing for mobile. Features are about the same, just a new name, and of course a new decision engine behind the button. What is new is Bing 411. Dial 1-800-Bing-411 (1-800-246-4411) for audio directions, traffic conditions, weather reports, etc.

I thought this was going to be an MS alternative to GOOG-411, which it’s not. Goog 411 is a free phone listing directory service (Bing does this too) – while Bing 411 is really a business directory and local information service – like an audio version of the Bing (formerly Live) mobile client.
