In addition to warding off Microsoft's advances towards a takeover, Yahoo seems to have got some work done on its Yahoo Go! with several improvements over the previous version 2.0 for the Windows Mobile platform, which was disappointing to say the least.

The application's user interface has undergone a overhaul and there is now full support for widgets aimed at providing information on the go. There is now an integrated at-a-glance Yahoo screen and improved oneSearch feature along with a comely Web 2.0-like feel and navigation to the application. All the data is stored in a "cloud" for easy retrieval on any other web-enabled device and since this would mean heavy data transfers, it would help if you had an unlimited data plan.

Go ahead and snatch it here if you own a Windows Mobile-powered device. I have tested it on a HTC Touch and it doesn't seem that bad.

It's funny how companies try to keep new products under wraps, and sometimes the most innocent of things reveals them. This time, it's the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 device, a Windows Mobile phone slated for a September 2008 release. That may seem far away, but for those eagerly waiting for the device - you know it's worth it.

The news was leaked thanks to Handango's newsletter. The Xperia X1, which will come with Handango's InHand service built-in, features a WVGA resolution screen (800x480 pixels). Obviously, the phone will be available in multiple languages.

I could actually see this working. I mean who wouldn't want a cell phone, a GPS receiver, a PDA, VOIP phone, AND a satellite phone bundled into one, minus the bulky satellite antenna. And the fact that it will all be laid out on Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional with all the usual connectivity options including WiFi and Bluetooth makes me like this one even more. It will also have a QVGA touchscreen and a 3-megapixel camera rounding its already fabulous features, while being a tad bit thicker than your usual PDA phone.

If it becomes a reality, this do-it-all phone will work on quad-band GSM/GPRS, HSDPA, and satellite networks. The promised talktimes don't seem too bad with up to 5 hours on GSM networks, 3 hours on WCDMA, and 1.3 hours on satellite networks using its 1400mAh battery. It will be able to handle a variety of image, audio, and formats with support for newer video formats like H.264 and H.263 at 30fps.

Cost you ask? If things turn out well, Elektrobit claims that it can deliver this monster at the price of a regular cell phone. All this sounds sweet but the whole concept hinges on the Terrestar Satellite being up and running by 2009, which is when this baby is expected to roll out.
