Microsoft isn’t announcing a lot of new things at this event, but it is talking for the first time about plans for a Bing Android client as well as new mapping features and a new TV listings feature that is in testing and about to launch.

Thanks to CNET’s Ina Fried who’s covering the Microsoft event in San Francisco. Well, I agree that somehow Google is better than Bing, but if you can’t fine something on Google (that never happens :D) then Microsoft Bing will be a very good alternative.
