Zooming out has been a bit of an issue, but to zoom in, I'm pretty sure it's just a double tap. I miss the direction pad on my Touch "classic." Just click the button and up or down to zoom in or out.

Is there a standalone widget or app for Windows Live Search too?

I think (and I might be wrong) he's just comparing what Bing currently is, to what it used to be.

Before Bing was called Bing, it was just "Windows Live Search."

Re: Google Maps Mobile vs. Bing for Mobile

Call me whatever you want, but the eye candy of the newer Bing is a definite plus for me. I use both and split about evenly, but I'm liking Bing more everyday.

Re: Google Maps Mobile vs. Bing for Mobile

Live search was better when I wanted to find a movie, I could tell it how far away to search. It would also list them by movie or theater, and by picking a movie it would tell me where it was showing. The new BING is much more difficult to use IMHO.

Re: Google Maps Mobile vs. Bing for Mobile

Quick question about Bing: it's telling me it can't locate me? Is this a GPS issue? And, when I first tried the search for "movies" our local theater came up (which surprised me!), but now it's not listed??
