Yahoo! has released version 2.0 of its Yahoo! Go app for Symbian and Windows Mobile devices.
Although still considered by many to be ‘that other search engine’, Yahoo! has been steadily adding to its portfolio of interesting web apps and Yahoo! Go offers several ‘widgets’ that act as mini portals to your Flickr photos, news & sports, Yahoo! email (is that exclamation point annoying you as well?) and web search functions.
You can also upload photos to Flickr directly from your phone’s memory and a well thought out map widget offers traffic reports, GPS integration and route planning as well as localized search functions (e.g. ‘find the nearest pub to my current location’)
The News widget offers a variety of sources is also a fairly capable RSS reader if you want to add your own.
How useful you find the mail widget will depend greatly on how committed you are to non-Yahoo! email services, but if you are a heavy Flickr user then widget that alone would make this a worthwhile download.
