I don’t mind RIM offering BING, but I definitely do mind them forcing us to us BING regardless of its qualities or lack there of.

For some reason Bing doesn’t integrate results too well in Windows within Firefox, but on Mobile devices like iOS its getting a LOT better.

In this day & age we REALLY need more competition in the search & content results space. critically so.

Odd enough how Microsoft will be using Nokia’s “Navtech” service & satellites – the largest in the entire world/space for Windows Mobile 7; really strange as it’ll integrate for competitors as well. Actually on the desktop this is ALREADY used – so what’s with this deal? I need to research this further.
