Yahoo Launches Android App Store in Japan

Jeff Baker — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 21:09:51 +0000

The fate of many mobile platforms usually rests in the number of applications available for download. We’ve seen platforms like Apple’s iOS and Google’s Android flourish due to huge developer backing and we’ve seen platforms like webOS meet their demise due to a very small amount of developer backing. Due to this, it’s no surprise that various [...]

Microsoft says Yahoo is culprit behind phantom data

Edwin Kee — Wed, 02 Feb 2011 02:03:46 +0000

Just recently, we have come across news of Windows Phone 7 handsets actually using up much more data than expected, and with no apparent cause to that. In fact, even handsets that were supposed to transmit data over Wi-Fi still reached its 3G tentacles out without being authorized to do so, and it had folks [...]

Mark Rollins — Sun, 10 Oct 2010 06:47:02 +0000

Yahoo is up to a lot of new tricks with the Homepage and App, and now this App could change video chats as we know it. This App is believed to be for the T-Mobile myTouch, and it has been submitted to the iTunes App store for review. I believe that it will work for [...]

Samsung Gravity 2 Cell Phone Review–Small Keys But Otherwise Great

Steve Anderson — Mon, 04 Oct 2010 04:01:54 +0000

So to kick off this week, we’re talking about the Samsung Gravity 2, and though it shows pretty well that Samsung loves nothing quite so much as it loves bizarre nicknames for their phones, it also shows that they can put out a nice one too when they really get going with it. The Samsung [...]

Yahoo Homepage and App

Mark Rollins — Fri, 17 Sep 2010 23:21:07 +0000

What you are seeing on the right here is Yahoo’s home page and App, which look very good on the iPad. It almost looks like that it is trying to compete with Bing as it shuns the traditional look of the Yahoo that is my default setting whenever I go online. Perhaps other business will [...]

Yahoo to announce partnership with Nokia

Jeff Baker — Fri, 21 May 2010 15:56:18 +0000

If you’ve read pretty much any tech news you’ll know that both Microsoft and Google embed their search engine products heavily into both Windows Phone 7 and Android. Yahoo, on the other hand, hasn’t seen any hard hitting partners that are willing to use their search engine by default, so what are they to do? [...]

Tony — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 01:42:33 +0000

Anyhow, the partnership plan is suppose to start on May 2010 and according to Yahoo [...]

I had a chance to meet with some guys from Yahoo, and they showed me one of their newest Apps called Sketch-a-Search. It is primarily designed for finding restaurants. All you need to do is get a general map of the area where you want to eat out at and then draw using your finger [...]

Motorola Backflip to use Yahoo instead of Google

Jeff Baker — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 05:03:09 +0000

The verdict is in: the Motorola Backflip for AT&T will use Yahoo as its default search engine. This may not seem like anything notable but the fact that the Backflip is using Google’s Android operating system adds a bit of heat to the fire. Yahoo being the default browser on the Backflip actually marks the [...]

Tony — Sat, 13 Feb 2010 23:42:12 +0000

The 2010 Winter Olympics Games which is taking place in Canada from the 12th to the 28th of February, has recently received a gift from Yahoo which comes in a shape of a mobile website. The new Yahoo mobile site for the Olympics is most probably one of the best places to check live results, [...]
