Back in June, Google released Google Maps Mobile 2.2  for BlackBerry devices only.  This week, Google finally released the same update for Windows Mobile and Symbian.  This update adds the ability to search for directions using public transit. 

They also included the same feature addons in this Windows Mobile release that they included in the BlackBerry release:

You’ll find a number of other features in this new version of Google Maps for mobile for WinMo and S60: star-ratings for businesses will help you get a feel for what other people think, your search results show up faster than ever, and user-generated content will now surface in your search results — opening up a whole new world of geo content on your phone. Look for the blue result markers when you search for "ruins in london," for example.

Even though Google Maps is one of the best free programs for Windows Mobile it doesn’t seem like Google really cares about the Windows Mobile market that much.  Back in July Google added the ability to give voice commands to the program rather than needing to type your search queries, but they only released this feature for BlackBerry.  Is anyone else starting to see a pattern here?
