Microsoft has made another update to Bing Mobile, including new sharing options, a carousel-style interface and a split-view for maps. Apple fans can check out the updated mobile website by heading over to "http://m.bing.com" in Safari for iOS.
Besides a new feature called iPhone Mobile App Discovery (which we told you about the other day), users of Bing's mobile website can now share images, business details and even applications with Facebook friends. Furthermore, users can view "headline news" in a carousel-style interface, which allows users to quickly flick through items (this feature is U.S. only for the time being).
Other features include a split-view for Bing Maps and directions, allowing users to view a map and information on directions on one page. A more accessible search history and a new "Trending Topics" feature allow users to view webpages they've already visited, and discover where on the Web they should navigate to next. Again, this feature is U.S. only - for now.
The updated mobile website is available for any mobile device that supports HTML5 (obviously, this includes Apple's line of iOS devices). You can check out Bing Mobile by navigating over to "http://m.bing.com" in Safari for iOS.
Check out the updated website, and let us know your thoughts in the comments.
