Google Maps does essentially the same thing as Bing. Once it knows your
location, you tap "Search," type "Furniture" (or whatever) and get a
bunch of push pins pop up on the map that you can select from, or tap
"List" to get a list. (The big difference between Google and Bing is
Bing brought up the list first, and required you to tap "Map All" to get
a map- Google brings up a map first, and makes you tap for a list.)

It's not- the "improvement" (supposedly) is the new Bing app which
doesn't run on QVGA phones. I assume MS decided it's easier/cheaper to
cut older phone users loose than recode the new Bing app for low-res
displays.

Yep.

Agreed. Gas Prices was invaluable when traveling in unfamiliar areas.
If it's any consolation, the new Bing app got rid of the Gas Prices
applet completely. Searching for gas now just brings up the 25 closest
stations, without any price info.
