Google Rumors Were True and Yahoo Goes Mobile

So, yes, those Google rumors about Google Pack and video were true (see the coverage at Engadget for details). Yipee! And in other big news from CES, Yahoo announed Yahoo Go! Yahoo Go is actually a combination of 3 items…Yahoo Go Mobile, Yahoo Go TV, and Yahoo Go PC. Go Mobile integrates the Yahoo’s services with the phone’s built-in email, messaging, address book and calendar applications. What’s so great about this is that if you lose your cell phone, your contact information isn’t lost — it’s available online and can be synched with a new mobile phone. Now that is a NICE feature.

Yahoo Go TV will bring Yahoo services to your television. This service is "coming soon," and there isn’t much detail as to how this will work…anyone know? I’m guessing it will have something to do with their partnership with Tivo.

Finally, Yahoo PC will initially include the Yahoo Widgets Engine and a Yahoo Go Desktop dashboard. The dashboard will allow you to Keep your friends, contacts, news, mail and more right on your desktop, one click away. The Yahoo! Widget Engine (formerly known as Konfabulator until Yahoo bought them) will obviously be a big part of this.

Wow! Go Yahoo!
