First Look: Yahoo! Mobile (Beta) for BlackBerry

[cherrichiodo]

Details include:

- Yahoo Pulse is where you would add all of your social networking sites (currently supporting Facebook, Last.fm, MySpace, Youtube, Bebo, Doppir, Flickr, Friendster, and Twitter), and it updates automatically. You go to your inbox, and open the message and loads Yahoo! Mobile for you.

- Opera Mini Browser is pre-installed!! So no need to have a separate application for it! Means more space!

- Yahoo! Messenger pre-installed! (don't need this installed separately either!)

- Location Services using GPS work for Yahoo! One Search and also the pre-installed maps (not as good as Google, but works ok)

- Twitter application features: Trends and Search (people, hashlinks, etc.), Favorites (can save tweets of interest), view your profile, messages, timeline

- OnePlace: Personalize and add your own content, whatever you want from the web (RSS, weather, horoscopes, etc.)

Other preloaded widgets: Facebook (web link), Friends (addressbook sync's with Y!, but not your BlackBerry), Youtube (link and it works!), photos, Calendar (sync's with Y!, not your BlackBerry), News, Weather, Stocks, Wikipedia, eBay, Reader (weblink to Google Reader), Sports, Wall Street Journal, NY Times, and Mail (plain text).

Love the updated look of the app... I've used Y!Go on my Bold as well as my Curve and was not at all impressed with the speed of opening each item. The amount of content supported is definitely a plus, made me uninstall alot of other applications that are already bundled with Y!Go. I'm definitely sold on the new version, just so long as the new looks of this app doesn't sacrifice the speed and ease of use.

Looks way better than Y! Go. Hopefully this is fast and does not lack like Y! Go.
