Yahoo! Go 3 Beta for Windows Mobile Released

Looks like Yahoo Go development is continuing apace with the release of Yahoo Go 3 (Beta). You can grab a download here, but a perusal of the compatible devices list seems to indicate that it's only compatible with Windows Mobile Standard for now.

New features include:

  • An integrated at-a-glance Yahoo screen
  • Improved Yahoo oneSearch
  • Prettier design and navigation, complete with clouds -- because your data is stored, you know, in the Cloud. wink
  • Full-on widget support, with in-app widgets like MySpace and eBay

Interestingly, we haven't heard mum since Yahoo struck a deal with HTC over a year ago to pre-install the app on HTC devices. Perhaps, like ourselves, HTC was disappointed with Yahoo Go 2, which replaced the awesome Outlook integration with so-so in-app email. We're downloading Yahoo Go 3.0 now to see if that's changed, but not expecting it to. Now that the Yahoo Microsoft merger is not going to happen, Yahoo Go 3 is probably going to be your best bet for getting your Yahoo On for the foreseeable future.

Thanks to Amar for the tip!

  • going to the url on my mobile I wasn't allowed to download 3; only 2 was available. Is there a different way to download it?
  • Hi raaden -
    Depends, what sort of device do you have. Looks like 3 is only available on certain devices, all smartphone / non-touchscreen edition
  • ya,,,,, like Dieter said windows standard = non-touchscreen phone
    So the new Yahoo Go 3 beta would work on a dash, blackjack, Moto Q,,,,,,,
  • It works nicely on my Q9m. It's not a solution for all my needs but it still works nicely. I like how it works with Flikr and the E-mail is pretty slick and not so bad on speed. I wish it had built in Yahoo Chat.
