Yahoo! Go 3.0

Download

Yahoo! Go 3.0 Beta is now available for the Blackjack 2 …and it looks amazing.

Yahoo! Go 3.0 has an incredibly sleek interface and is light years ahead of the competition as a mobile dashboard.

Yahoo! Go 3.0

If you are a Yahoo! user this is a MUST have. If you haven’t decided on your Web Application company of choice (Google, Yahoo!, Microsoft) and are a heavy mobile user, definitely check this out!

If you’re in the Yahoo! camp, then this application is for you. It is a dashboard that give you quick access to all your favorite Yahoo! applications including: Yahoo! Mail, Flickr, Yahoo! Maps, Finance/Stocks, Weather and much more. You can also install third-party widgets for things like eBay, MySpace and MTV News that you can download from within Yahoo!Go 3.0 Beta (goto the Settings page) or from the Yahoo! mobile Web site.

Yahoo!Go makes me wish i liked the rest of their products!

I was unable to follow the download Hyperlink in the SMS Message using Opera Mobile – I had to open the link in PocketIE.

Thanks to David Hersh for tipping me off that Yahoo!Go is available for the Samsung Blackjack 2.

MSN Direct

Download

Microsoft has released a Home Screen add-on called MSN Direct that displays News, Weather and Stocks in a bubble on your home screen. Selecting any of the sections will launch a full screen application with which you can browser Weather forecasts, Various new items, and Stock indices.

MSN Direct

There are links to Microsoft services (or ads? call them what you will) injected into the home screen menu.

MSN Direct is not available as a stand-alone application, it can only be run from the Home screen using the MSN Direct Theme, which I find annoying.

If you are using a non-fixed height Home screen Theme (like any of the themes on this site) this is a decent plug-in, though it takes up a little too much screen real-estate for my liking.

Caution: Before installing this theme, make sure you are using a non-fixed width theme. When installed MSN Direct will inject itself into your current theme directly below the Date/Time lines.
