Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT) has updated the Bing mobile website, located at m.bing.com. Here’s what’s new:

  • NFL feature – type a team or player and see upcoming games, stats, and scores. While the game is on, you can get real-time updates on the plays. (U.S. only)
  • Flight status – enter the airline and flight number to get the latest departure and landing times.
  • Support for touch-enabled devices – mobile website can detect high-end devices and show a better and touch-friendlier version of the site. A new Movies feature is also included, allowing “Search for Movies” in your city, showtimes, overviews, and even trailers and video clips. Supported devices include the iPhone, Zune HD, T-Mobile (NYSE: DT) G1, Verizon (NYSE: VZ) Imagio, Samsung Omnia, with more devices to get supported over the next couple of months.

And that’s about it. It’s nice to see Microsoft pushing its search engine forward…
