Bing announced that their Windows Phone client will be getting two new features.

First up is Bing Vision:
Bing Vision – available today (17 February 2012)
As well as allowing users to detect product information from QR codes and Microsoft Tags, Bing Vision now scans barcodes, CD, DVD and book covers. Plus Bing Vision can now provide local availability and cost comparison information on goods so people can quickly purchase items of interest while on the go.
The other feature is Bing Image Matching:
Bing Image Matching for Newspapers (rolling out in March on Bing Vision)
Enabling people to quickly find the digital version of a print magazine or newspaper article, Bing Image Matching for Newspapers allows users to take a photo of an article using their Windows Phone camera and link directly to a digital version of the article online.
Offering global access, consumers will have access to content from over 3,000 publications worldwide.
Neat little features, eh? Here’s a video showing off the new features:
