Bing The Only Search Option On Windows Phone 7

This might not go down well with many folks, but word is out that Microsoft's Bing will be the only default search engine on Windows Phone 7 devices. The reason behind it is apparently that the search engine is heavily integrated into the OS, which makes it hard to offer an alternative, with an example of the "Tell me" feature being cited. Said feature allows users to press a button and speak to the phone giving it voice commands to search the phone or the web. Of course, such a move is probably aimed at raising the awareness of the Bing search engine, but it's a radically different move from Apple's iOS 4, which now offers Bing and Yahoo as alternatives to Google as the default search engine on the web.
