HTC teams up with Yahoo!
Rating: don’t believe the hype
Yahoo! Go and Yahoo! Mail will come pre-loaded on many HTC smart devices. This will include the new Yahoo! onesearch.
From the press release:
“HTC is always seeking new ways to keep people connected to their community of friends and personalized content while mobile,” said Peter Chou, chief executive officer of HTC. “With high resolution displays and breakthrough designs, HTC’s products are the ideal platform for Yahoo! Go 2.0. We are pleased to offer users the ultimate Yahoo! Go 2.0 experience on our innovative devices.
“Since we launched Yahoo! Go 2.0 less than two months ago, there has been strong demand from the Windows Mobile community to get this innovative service on their mobile devices,” said Marco Boerries, senior vice president of connected life, Yahoo!. “By partnering with HTC to put Yahoo! Go 2.0 on its mobile devices, we are bringing the true mobile Internet to an even broader audience around the world.”
What we think
There is a feature on the problems of Yahoo! Go embedded on to mobile devices in next months issue of the Mobile Search Analyst. Pre-loading applications might look good – but it always needs to be about the user interface and what the mobile operator does with it.
