Yahoo Y logoWe’ve already seen this in Australia. Now the same thing comes to the Asian market, as all the multimedia phones and smartphones from Nokia will now be pre-loaded with popular Yahoo applications. This will enable consumers to have access to a range of popular services including messenger, e-mail, search, connections, photos, ringtones and games.

Yahoo’s mobile application “Yahoo Go” would be free for buyers of Nokia Nseries and S60 smartphones and customers would only have to pay for accessing the web on their handsets.

The existing N70, Nokia 6680, Nokia 6681 and Nokia 6630 owners will be able to download the Yahoo! Go application on their existing handsets.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.

    Unfortunately, the selection of smartphones that these applications will install is very limited at the moment. My E61 lacks such a client as do a lot of other ‘high-end’ smartphones.
