Today
Yahoo!
announced Yahoo! Go, a new set of products
for PCs, TVs, and mobile devices. Yahoo! Go Desktop is "a suite of services to PCs that do not rely on a
browser, essentially bringing all the Yahoo apps and services on the desktop," including a Dashboard app that
sounds similar to Google Desktop and, I'm guessing, will include
Yahoo! Widget
Engine, formerly Konfabulator. Yahoo! Go TV will "make entertainment-related services available on any
PC-connected TV through a small downloadable app," including video search, photo slideshows, movie information and
trailers, and content from CNN and MTV. Yahoo! Go Mobile will include "Yahoo Mail, Yahoo Messenger, Photos,
calendar, address book, Web and image search, news, sports and finance" for mobile apps and will be preloaded on
Nokia Series 60 from Cingular and AT&T in the U.S., as well as 10 countries worldwide.

Wow, this looks pretty cool. I was going to comment that I predict no mac support initially, but looking at the Go site, they use a powerbook to show the product demo. It's like a mini media center OS, then some.

Uhh, yeah, I take that back. Looks like Yahoo! TV will only be available for XP. Doesn't mention anything about Yahoo! Go.
