Yahoo Go for Mobile spreads to Windows Mobile

It seems Yahoo was happy enough with their exploits in S60 land to bring their ragtag group of applets to another demographic. This time around, Windows Mobile gets the honors, offering the typical set of Yahoo-themed channels: Search, Mail, Calendar, News, and so on; strangely, Messenger seems to be left out of the equation. Compatibility is apparently fairly wide on this one, so if you can tolerate the lack of text messenger du jour, pull out that Q / 2125 / UBiQUio 501 of yours and get your Yahoo on, eh?

Update: As you can clearly see from the screen shot, Messenger's included -- it looks like you won't have to do without text messenger du jour after all. Sorry, Yahoo!

How is this different from logging onto mobile.yahoo.com?

I don't know how the web is on the specific Nokia phones they offer this for, but for the Windows Mobile users that have IE (or any other browser), what's the difference?

Installed it last night, and while the Yahoo! Photos feature is nice, I'm really disappointed that GO doesn't include an IM client, but rather the same, weak web-based client at mobile.yahoo.com. Constant refresh and no alerts means I'll stick with Live for mobile 5.0.

One more thing Yahoo needs to address in the next refresh - allow installation to Storage card, please. :)
