According to Microsoft the Bing Windows Mobile application is about to get a fairly big update this fall:

Congratulations to our friends over in Windows Mobile for the launch of Windows Mobile 6.5 today! It’s an exciting time for mobile and for Bing. With today’s announcement we are kicking off what we like to call the Autumn of Mobile!

This week in New York we were able to share a sneak peek of the Bing for mobile application due out later this Fall. In case you missed it, here’s a screenshot of what’s to come. The Bing app continues to be a great tool for local searches, maps, and directions, and now it has a whole new look.

Nice to see the Bing “changing wallpaper” background being ported to the mobile application. Hopefully the maps will support multi-touch support (I guess that this is HTC’s job though)
