Windows Live Messenger – more new features expected

So now that everybody is using the leaked Wave 3 Milestone 1 build, (oops we can’t talk about that) and Microsoft employees are using the latest Milestone 2 daily builds, we thought it was time to just cut to the chase and look at what we expect to see come final release (or M3 for those keeping count). As always, this may change, so just think of it as a taster of what is to come.

 

Here’s what’s showing up for the first time in these pictures.

Windows Live Mobile launches SMS Search Beta

WLMobile icon.gifJust a few days after announcing a major partnership between Windows Live Mobile and Sprint, the Windows Live Mobile team have launched a new SMS search service that provides Cingular, Verizon, Sprint Nextel and Alltel subscribers SMS access to Windows Live Search results. (US only curently)

  1. Send a SMS to 95483 (WLIVE) on your phone
  2. To find a local business - Type in "salon rae seattle wa"
  3. For Instant Answers - Start all your queries with a ? question mark -  eg "? mothers day"
  4. Word Definitions – use ‘D’ instead of ‘?’ " - eg D transverse"

Other search functions include reverse phone number lookup, stock quotes, area and country telephone codes, holiday dates, and solutions to maths calculations. Full instructions on how to use this service are available on the team blog or you can visit the new Mobile Search homepage for full details of all the services available.

The mobile team is doing some great stuff, so hopefully this goes international soon. No more having to remember the details of local search results, plus you can forward them on if meeting up with others. No excuses for being late now!
