The Wall Street Journal is reporting that both Yahoo and Google are set to roll out new wireless services to take advantage of advancements in wireless networks and mobile devices. These new products aim to offer services similar to those found on computers now.

On Yahoo's end, they will soon be introducing a mobile phone through its partnership with SBC Communications. SBC and Yahoo have had a partnership since 2001 with the two of them developing more and more products together as the years have gone by. The new Yahoo mobile phone will allow consumers to link music, photos, and email with their existing online accounts, address books, and preferences.

The Nokia manufactured phone will work with the Cingular Wireless network and will also feature an MP3 player, a 1.3 megapixel camera, and a removeable memory card. Expect to pay between 200 to 300 dollars for the new Yahoo phone.

Meanwhile, Google is rolling out new Internet services for use on wireless devices including a downloadable application that extends their local search service to some mobile phone users. Mobile users will be able to search for locations and then view them on a map on the mobile devices. Users will also be able to find listings through the Google service and then automatically place a call to the number.

Who can use the new application? Anyone who has a phone that supports downloadable Java applications. Vendors that have phones supporting this include Cingular Wireless, Sprint Nextel, and T-Mobile. Verizon, Alltell, and US Cellular customers can not use the application and Nextel, Blackberry, and Palm devices are not supported.
