Yahoo Opens Mobile Web Platform, Go 3.0 in Beta
January 10th, 2008 MobileFreak
Back in April, we discussed some of the differences between Yahoo! Go and and their other mobile offerings. More Yahoo! mobile news this week at the 2008 Computer Electronics Show, where Jerry Yang and company announced Yahoo! would be opening up their mobile platform to developers.
This comes on the heels of Google’s very similar Android announcement in November. What does all this mean? There will be more opportunities for mobile developers and content owners, and in the end, more mobile options for the end users.
The other Yahoo! announcement was the beta release of version 3.0 of Yahoo! Go. There’s quite a bit to explore in this version, and one in particular is the mobile widgets. The selection of widgets available today is pretty sparse (MySpace and MTV, to name two), but that will undoubtedly grow over the next several weeks and months.
It’s only January 10 and this year is already shaping up to be a promising one for the mobile web. Go take a look!
