Yahoo Says 'LOVE ME!' with Yahoo! Go 3.0



VS



Ever since the e-mailbox Fight Night with Google and Yahoo (Yahoo increased mailbox size due to Gmail's mailbox size), it begins again when Yahoo released with it's beta version, Yahoo! Go that runs on mobile phones. Yahoo is trying to outmatch it's successor Google.


Google has its own mobile program called Google Mobile. Google mobile includes many applications such a news, calendar, sync, rss feeder, gmail, search, goog-411, and even (one of the best they have) Google Docs! Google docs allow you to create documents, spreadsheets, and presentations on the go with no software download. For one thing, Google mobile downloads its apps as shortcuts that point to their mobile pages. The good thing about Google Mobile is that it saves space on your mobile device and it doesn't take ultimate memory to run.








Yahoo! Go is an application can download onto your phone. Yahoo! Go gives you information from the widgets that you choose to install. It also comes with default widgets but I'm pretty sure they can be uninstalled. The widgets appear on a "carousel" that simply allows you to roll to the widget you would like. When Yahoo Go is ran, it will be constantly connected to the internet to act as a feeder to get the news and information you like. Some of teh widgets include news, ebay, myspace, mail, Fickr, weather etc. (there's so many). Yahoo! Go gives you what you want when you want it without much frustration. Yahoo! Go's interface (GUI) looks great but it can take up a lot of memory too.








The Bottom Line

Google mobile is a great space saver but I consider it to be best for the most business oriented people. Yahoo go is great for the daily user and great for when waiting in line. Both are remarkable products. If you decide to download either, I highly recommend you have an unlimited data plan or "Don't try this at home" lol......
