Bing app for iPhone and iPod Touch has been updated with social networking and image recognition. Now you can connect your Facebook and Twitter accounts and see combined status updates from your friends from within the Bing app. So now when you search for something using Bing app, you’ll see web results along with relevant results from your social network.
Visual Scanning - speaking of finding products, the iPhone app now features visual scanning of barcodes and cover art. Use the camera on your iPhone to scan the barcode of any product or the cover art of books, CDs, DVDs, or video games. You’ll see descriptions, and often reviews, prices, and links to merchant websites. This feature makes it easy to comparison shop for your favorite products or just find a place to buy that book your friend won’t shut up about.
In addition to these new features, Microsoft also made improvements to the Movies section, where you can now get even more video and trailers and easier access to showtimes.
