WP8 Bing Will Feature Local Deals in Searches

Over the past week or so we’ve had fun discovering new features of Windows Phone 8. Now it looks like Bing will be getting a major overhaul as well, so that it can incorporate headlines, movies, videos, and local events. A new set of screenshots have been unearthed that shows Bing offering up local deals a la Groupon, so users can take advantage of them without needing a specific app. Bing natively aggregates several different local coupon providers.

This is most likely a US only feature for now, but it’s an interesting way to compete with the likes of Apple’s Siri and Android’s Google Now.
