Yahoo Mobile App leaves other Smartphones for iPhone
Yahoo is focusing its mobile app exclusively on iPhone and ceasing development for other smartphone platforms including Blackberry, Windows Mobile, etc, which will be using Yahoo services through their mobile browser.
A Yahoo spokesperson confirms:
|
We are reprioritizing some products to help us better deliver the best possible experiences to consumers on mobile. To streamline our services, we will not develop Yahoo! Mobile for smartphones to focus our efforts on mobilizing Yahoo!, improving Yahoo! Mobile for web and Yahoo! Mobile for iPhone as well as developing new and engaging experiences for consumers, partners and advertisers. We currently have mobile products that reach hundreds of different devices (including Blackberry), and we continue to expand that comprehensive list. |
|
We are embracing both, apps and browser. We as Yahoo are all about ubiquity. We have a renewed appreciation for the browser because they are getting materially better, but you can always do more with an app on your phone. In the immediate time frame you will see a lot more standalone vertical apps coming out of Yahoo. |
