Navigation: Windows Live Search vs. Google Maps Mobile

There are several ways to use navigation services. The colleagues over at Gizmodo compared two of them: Windows Live Search from Microsoft and Google Maps Mobile.

Windows Live Search runs on both J2ME (Java) phones and on Windows Mobile phones, whereas Google Maps only works on J2ME phones.

So which is better? Without a doubt, Microsoft's was the winner.

This matchup could have been a bit uneven. We were running WLS on a Windows Mobile phone, seeing as the Windows Live Search had a "native-app" feel, because it was a native app. Google Maps on Java ran like Java always does. Painfully.
