The Japanese unit of Microsoft, working with Japanese mobile content company Cybird, has launched the MSN Mobile Search service that the companies claim significantly boosts the number of Web sites and data available to Japan’s mobile users, while offering mobile Internet channels for PC owners.
Mobile phone or PC users can access the service to search about 80,000 mobile Internet sites. That is about 80 percent of the total number of mobile Internet sites available in Japan.
Microsoft has acquired a license to use GigaCode, a search service dedicated to mobile phone content, provided by Cybird subsidiary Gigaflops Japan.
