Yahoo updates mobile search tool
Yahoo is aggressively moving into the mobile search market with updated software and expanded deals to preload its software onto millions of handsets.
The company announced the latest version of its Yahoo Go 2.0 mobile phones Monday at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. It also said that the new software would be preloaded onto more than 70 mobile handset models from top manufacturers including Motorola, Nokia, Samsung Electronics and Research In Motion.
Yahoo has been offering a version of its mobile search tool for a year. But until now, the software has been relatively unsophisticated. The new 2.0 version of Go will change that, the company said. Specifically, it includes a feature called “oneSearch,” which makes it easier for consumers to get information through an enhanced directory of local businesses and maps.
