Yahoo! Go for Mobile 2.0 update
Yahoo! is expanding its Yahoo! Go for Mobile 2.0 service, with support for about 75 additional Windows Mobile based phone models. Yahoo! has also reached a deal with phone manufacturer HTC to preload the software onto a number of HTC models.So what's Yahoo! Go for Mobile? It's basically a mobile interface for a group of Yahoo! services, including email, maps, search, Flickr photos, news and RSS feeds.
While Google also has a mobile interface for its version of most of these services, Yahoo bundles the whole thing into one application with a unified look and feel. That's a good thing when it comes to making applications prettier, but it's also an attempt to lock you into using Yahoo! for everything rather than choosing Google for mail and search and Yahoo for photos.
Of course, there's nothing preventing you from downloading Yahoo! Go for Mobile and only using a few of its features. It is free after all.

Not sure if it's due to my iPAQ having a 240x240 screen but I'm still getting refused a download. I know these "press releases" are normally months before actual release but I'm not seeing anywhere that this isn't available right now (other than being refused a download).

I tried downloading it (using the link sent via SMS), and it stated specifically that the software won't work with 240x240 screens (like my iPaq 6915).

Any thoughts as to why they don't include Yahoo Messenger? Also, I'd love to see a mobile Launchcast client.

I wonder if we can ever expect something like this for the Palm OS platform....
