For users that like their mapping applications, this has been a good couple of weeks.
Almost two weeks ago Google released their stand-along Google Maps for Mobile and now Microsoft has moved their Windows Live Search for Mobile out of beta - and changed the name to Live Search.
I have mentioned Live Search a couple of times in my postings (Maps on Your BlackJack and Wiping Everything Away (Hard Reset)) and use it often to find places/things.
The newest version comes in two flavors: one for for the United States and another for the United Kingdom. To pick up a copy for yourself, simply go to here. Alternatively, you can download the CAB file directly to your phone by going here for the US version and here for the UK version.
One of the nicest features is the ability to search for a place and then highlight one of the search results and make a phone call to that location without having to type in the phone number.
Here are all the links again:

- CAB file to download and install directly on you phone
