It’s true. Although the deal is in its most infant stage, the duo announced today that the search agreement had received clearance from the U.S. Department of Justice as well as the European Commission. The changes are set to start in the next few days, but will continue to be an ongoing process.
Bing unveiled the National Geographic iPhone App, that has 7 million place listings. Now that is simply outstanding. The App also offers iPhone users the ability to "view 7 different levels of cartography, 3 maps styles and the ability to find locations around the world..."
