Bing widget goes live in the Ovi Store

Launched today in Nokia's Ovi Store is a free Bing widget:- you'll recall that this is Microsoft's next-gen answer to Google's main search site. Offering Web, Mobile web, News, Images and Videos, the tabbed interface gives you results almost instantly, since content is cached for each tab/data type. Some screens and comments below.
The widget is compatible with all S60 3rd Edition (provided Web runtime is in the firmware) and S60 5th Edition phones.
Enough of the peanut butter! Let's try a different search. What about some Floyd news?
Each news story is expandable to show the full matched paragraph...
You can remove one or more of the tabs, which helps in portrait mode on narrow screens. Note that the 'Search filter' page takes ages to appear though!
You can find the Bing widget in the Ovi Store for all S60 devices.
