Rating: 2.0, it says 2.0! must be good

Bill Gates has taken some time off from saving the world from the evil Apple hordes to update his mobile search application. The new Windows Live Search version 2.0 features a new user interface (better buttons) and expanded local info (all new kebab houses, pikey video shops and intimidating builders merchants) which promises to give things like film times and traffic updates. The code monkeys have also made sure that it works on a load of new handsets.

This means that you, the lucky user, can now get movie ratings and times relevant to your location, consumer reviews of local businesses, better maps and directions should you be
lost. However, if you are like 99% of the population and can’t use mobile Internet, then you are still going to be watching Hot Fuzz and eating a rat burger whilst sitting lost and in traffic.
