Yahoo! gets cuddly with all of HTC's Windows Mobile handsets

As Yahoo! and Google battle it out old-style to find out who is king of the mobile web these days, Yahoo! had already stepped it up a notch from offering its Yahoo! Go service on Nokia phones via Symbian's S60 to offering the same experience on that Windows Mobile handset -- but now, it'll be on quite a few WM handsets. With that notion, Yahoo! signed on HTC (maker of a healthy dose of WM handsets) to embed Yahoo! into almost every HTC Windows Mobile device -- including recent models (we guess via a firmware update) and all new and upcoming HTC models as well. So, in addition to Yahoo! Go on Symbian-powered handsets and Windows Mobile handsets made by HTC, the California company is embedding Yahoo! services into standard handset models from Nokia, Motorola, Samsung and LG as well. Google -- you got a comeback for that?
Yes I do have a comeback.....ITS ABOUT DAMN TIME!!!
There's one HTC phone that Yahoo! Go 2.0 will NOT work on. Yahoo! Go 2.0 will not work on the T-Mobile Dash phones. Well not until April sometime. Tech journalists need to do more research about this.
Great... First it was crapware pre-installed on your new PC, now you get crapware on your new phone too! I'm going to guess that HTC doesn't pass any of that payola back to the consumer by discounting the phone. Free Google phone anyone?
Yeah, but the older one was better. It integrated with your built in email and contacts. It was like blackberry push/sync for yahoo.
I'm wondering if they will be able to do this without carriers approval. I'm pretty sure the carriers have the final say about preloaded software.
