Yahoo! Go 3.0 +Widgets

Yahoo! Go 3.0 with Widgets support was announced by Yahoo at CES 2008. Yahoo! Go 3.0 all-in-one mobile offering now includes a much better feature-rich user interface that can be customized and personalized according to the user’s needs. In addition, Yahoo! also bundled widget support with its new offering, allowing third-parties to also get a piece of the action.

"Today's launch of Yahoo! Go 3.0 is a game-changing mobile development from Yahoo!. This new open environment provides consumers with a highly-compelling user experience and robust, personalized starting point to the mobile Internet. We are providing users with increased control over their experiences as well as increased choice in getting the content and services they want while on the go," said Marco Boerries, executive vice president, Connected Life, Yahoo!. "With our innovative mobile services like Yahoo! Go 3.0 and deep partnerships across the industry, we are focused on making the promise of the mobile Internet a reality for consumers around the world."

Yahoo! Go 3.0 offers an intuitive and rich design that makes efficient use of the phone's small screen and speeds consumers' ability to find the information they need on the mobile Internet. This enhanced experience is both visually stunning and highly functional, enabling consumers to easily navigate Yahoo! Go 3.0 through a choice of two views - either the traditional carousel or the new icon layout.

Widget launch partners include eBay, MySpace and MTV, but the search/portal giant hopes that in the coming months more developers will join “the club.”

At the moment, Yahoo! Go 3.0 is available for the U.S. based users only and it should work on more than 30 mobile devices. International and more localized versions are coming later in the year. Consumers in the U.S. can download Yahoo! Go 3.0 (go.yahoo.com).
