Windows Live Search for Mobile launches: Kevin forgets

This falls under the "Oops" category that we don’t have: Windows Live Search for Mobile came out of beta earlier this week. We covered the beta back in November and came away quite impressed, but forgot to mention the official launch. Darwin Cruz, the Microsoft Program Manager sent me a subtle reminder e-mail and mentions:

"The main new features are integration with Contacts and SMS a Friend. You can still download it from http://wls.live.com on your phone, and there’s more info at http://mobile.search.live.com/about/download/"

Darwin, thanks for keeping me in line! ;) I’m looking forward to trying out the full version on both the Dash and the XV6700! In fact, I’m using it now to find a nice place for dinner tonight since we got snowed in on Valentine’s Day. I wonder how romantic the local deli is?
