Mobile World Congress 2009 is on so it is only fitting that after MySpace announced the launch of a new mobile site, here comes Yahoo as well.
Yahoo announced, you guessed it right, the upcoming launch of its new Yahoo Mobile, an app developed for the Apple iPhone, and as an app developed for smartphones from Nokia, RIM, Samsung, Sony Ericsson and Motorola as well as those powered by Windows Mobile. Yahoo! Mobile initially will be available through a managed beta program, with general availability expected in Q2 2009.
Users will be able to search editor-selected content, using new maps and tools, and consolidate a variety of content into one location. They will be able to access e-mail and social networking sites, as well as instant messaging, address books, and calendar tools.
The mobile Web and iPhone applications will provide search, buzz, and OneConnect, which will allow users to access e-mail from Yahoo, Gmail, Windows Live Hotmail, and AOL. It features Pulse for access to social networking sites, Yahoo Messenger, and Yahoo News, among other features.
The smartphone versions include all the same functionality plus Yahoo’s OneSearch with Voice, which will allow users to state what they’re looking for. It will also feature widgets and Opera Mini 4.2 for mobile browsing.
