Windows Phone 7 incorporates Microsoft's Bing search engine into the OS, but if you prefer the results you get from Google, then this app is for you. You're not going to get the level of integration in the OS that Bing has, but choice is good right?

Yep, checked a couple of hours ago (hey we are a few hours ahead of the AU west coast) and it's there. Quite good really and the icon makes a splash in the Start page.

Waiting for Amazon Kindle for Windows Phone 7 and Loopt now...
