Microsoft adds features to Live Search for Windows Mobile

by Brad Linder May 16th 2008

Microsoft has updates its Live Search for Windows Mobile software, adding four new features:

4 day weather forecasts
Search the web from the Live Search software without opening a web browser first
View maps and locations shared by other Virtual Earth users
Take addresses from your contact list and see where your friends are on a map

You can download the Live Search software by visiting m.live.com on your mobile device. If you don't want to download anything, you can still use the web-based Windows Live search engine, but the Live Search application is pretty slick and much faster than the web interface at loading maps and satellite imagery.

The download at m.live.com doesn't seem to be giving me the latest version. I'll try again tomorrow and maybe the download link will be fixed/updated by then.

Thanks for posting this. Almost forgot. Can't wait to give it a try. One of the nice applications to install on WinMo.

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
