Yahoo announced the expansion of its oneSearch mobile search service to Canada and five European markets. The Internet giant will initially offer consumers select content including News, Finance, Weather, Image, Flickr and Web results. In addition, users will have access to search business listings, complete with ratings and reviews, and the company is promising more content feeds over the coming months.
“What consumers want from a mobile search is entirely different to what they want on the PC,” said Kerry Munro, general manager, Yahoo! Canada. “Yahoo! oneSearch is designed specifically for the mobile phone. It understands what busy consumers are looking for when they are on the move and brings up relevant answers in the first screen. Yahoo! oneSearch delivers better results with just one search, instead of a sea of Web links to PC sites.”

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.
