Discover infinite word-search fun with Word Search Plus for iOS
WEBST Consulting S.A., an emerging mobile application developer currently focused on creating word based games, today announced its excitement over the successful recent release of Word Search Plus for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. This enhanced word search application builds on the word search genre to offer players an effectively infinite playing experience, access to definitions, and the ability to look up the origins and historical contexts of words they find as well. In a clear testament to its instantaneous popularity with mobile word gamers, the app has already been featured in Apple’s esteemed New and Noteworthy Word & Educational Games category after less then two weeks of release! Word Search Plus is currently available for download on the Apple App Store for .99.
This app set out with one simple goal in mind, to bring word search enthusiasts everywhere a mobile update of their much loved game that stayed as faithful as possible to its roots while implementing every improvement its new mobile medium afforded it. The result is Word Search Plus. The game itself is simple; players are presented with a grid of letters and charged with finding words hidden within that grid. Backwards, forwards, diagonally, words are hidden amongst the game’s letter filled grid in every which way possible. The app includes an immense word bank, and because new games are created at random players are certain that they’ll never play the same exact puzzle more than once.

Microsoft releases Bing search app tailored specifically to the iPad
Are you finding the Bing iOS app not quite as tablet-optimized as it could be? Microsoft seems to agree with you, as it’s just released a new version of Bing designed to make the most of the iPad’s more spacious dimensions. It works with both generations of the tablet, though iOS 4.2 is required, and brings an arsenal of goodies to tempt users into giving it a try. A trends area will serve up the top-searched items on Bing, a dedicated movie- and trailer-searching section will help make your matinee decisions that little bit easier, and multiple map views will enlighten you with turn-by-turn directions and real-time transit info. There are even weather updates for up to five cities via MSN Weather and, if for whatever reason you don’t find the touch-centric interface to your liking, there’s a Bing Voice Search option as well. All for free. On the iPad. Boy, that must bruise some egos up in the Redmond. Video after the break.
