The official Bing for Mobile Android App is now available to Verizon customers. The app is available for free from Verizon Wireless Android phones' Marketplace. It features images of the day, voice search, "cool" mapping features, zoom-out button, ratings and reviews.

The Bing for Mobile Android App homepage features the Bing image of the day, complete with clickable hotspots that you can explore and discover related trivia. They claim that voice search works especially well when looking for "Instant answers" which give you quick and relevant answers for things like movies, stock quotes, flight status and local listings.

Just say "movies," for a quick result of movie listings, theaters and show times nearby, or say the flight information you are looking for, we will show you the departure, arrival, and other relevant information such as traffic, weather, news, and hotels details.

The Bing for Mobile Android App has a mapping feature. First, Bing will automatically find your current location. You can then easily discover new places by category such as restaurants, banks, theaters and you can choose whether you want walking or driving directions. Swipe through each step of your directions, and check out how fast the map pans and zooms. For times when you only have one hand free and can't pinch, there is the handy zoom-out button.

There are also local listing reviews, ratings and news.
