In summary, the new Bing iPhone app includes:

• Improved products with landing page, results, details and instant answer
• Details with description, reviews and offers
• Image/bar code recognition of products
• Blended search including updates from your Twitter and Facebook networks when you do a search on the client
• “What’s hot” domain with xRank/Twitter tag cloud/feeds
• Business List and Map View integration

The most interesting addition to me is the camera view, where you can scan products and bar codes and Bing will return pricing information. I have one of those air duster cans on my desk, so I scanned that with the Bing iPhone app and it returned prices and descriptions from around the web.

These are just some of the new features on the new Bing App. You can check it out on the iTunes Store and download it for free.
