Bing, Microsoft’s search corner, although missing from Microsoft’s own Windows 7 platform owing to its incompatibility with HTML 5, is available on a iPhone handset. The Bing here includes swap-navigation of images, zoom effects, among others. Users can find a demonstrative video on the Bing blog giving an insight into all the features, albeit in an understated style.

Microsoft, however, also assures that the incompatibilities with HTML 5 on Windows Phone 7 will be gone, soon. The application on the iPhone dismisses Apple’s control as it links it directly to iTunes Store.
