Yahoo Go Puts Yahoo Services Into Cell Phones, TV & PCs

Yahoo has launched Yahoo Go (link
via
PaidContent), a suite of products designed to let people reach information
whether they’re on their PCs, phones or using TV. The suite will be formally
announced by Yahoo CEO Terry Semel at CES
keynote today

Yahoo Go Mobile currently
works only for Nokia Series 60 phones. It will allow you to sync your contacts,
photos and mail with Yahoo. Yahoo says that in the near future, Yahoo Go Mobile
will be preinstalled on the Nokia 6682 from Cingular Wireless. Beyond Yahoo Go
Mobile, plain old Yahoo Mobile
has a wide range of services, some of which involve no special software at all.

Yahoo Go TV is a coming
application for Windows XP machines that allows you to see photo slide shows,
listen to internet radio stations, search for movie info and clips and find
video from the web. What’s the TV part, then? It will work with a PC-enabled TV,
News.com reports.
Or, I suspect, a PC that displays TV in addition to a PC desktop, such as the
Windows Media Center does. This application looks to tap into existing Yahoo
products but perhaps make them easier for users to be aware of through a more
customized software interface.

Yahoo Go Desktop / PC is
another coming application that looks incredibly similar to the
Google Sidebar.
It allows you to apparently tap into and sync more easily with existing Yahoo
services such as Flickr photo sharing, blogging on Yahoo 360 and Yahoo Mail. A
new "social browser" is also promised, though this seems to be the sidebar or
dashboard-like application I mentioned. From various reports, Yahoo Go Dashboard
appears to be the name of this.


Yahoo To Launch Go
Initiative; Mobile, Connected TVs & Desktop Access
over at PaidContent has a
nice summary, and
v
ia
Russell Beattie, a number of articles have some additional details.

Yahoo goes mobile
over at News.com says Yahoo Go Mobile will work in 10 different countries (I
suspect this actually means it will work with 10 different Yahoo country
specific editions, such as Yahoo US versus Yahoo UK). Yahoo Go TV is promised
for download before April and remote recording of TV shows is planned.


Yahoo Launches Content Service for Phones
from the AP covers Yahoo working
with Motorola to bring Yahoo Go into its phones, though Google still looks to be
the preferred search provider for Motorola, given its
deal
announced today.
