Yahoo! Search: Helio and Yahoo! are partnering to offer an industry first: one-click access to a single-button Yahoo! search experience from the Helio device home screen that combines Yahoo!'s mobile Web, local, and image content with Helio's premium mobile content -- videorings, music videos, games and more. |  |
For example, a Helio member can start a search by literally typing in a search term just as if they were dialing a phone number. This feature is provided exclusively by Yahoo! on Helio's device home screen. Members will also be able to use Yahoo! Shortcuts, a quick way to get useful information such as local restaurants, movie showtimes, sports scores, weather, and stock quotes.
Yahoo! News, Sports, Finance and more: Helio will offer one-touch links to a full range of Yahoo!'s content services including News, Sports, Finance and Movies. In addition, for more immediate access to the latest information from Yahoo!, Helio will provide consumers dynamic news feeds on selected topics on their Helio device home screen.
Yahoo! Mail: Helio members will have fast and easy access to their Yahoo! Mail account from anywhere, including the ability to reply, forward, delete and move messages to folders. Members will also be able to add, edit or delete contacts in their Yahoo! Address Book.
Yahoo! Messenger: Yahoo!'s easy to use instant messaging service gives access to the existing friends' list and the ability to send and receive messages. Members will also be able to set presence information to show friends and family when they are online and available to chat.
Helio and Yahoo! will also continually work to introduce new Yahoo! services to Helio members. This includes Yahoo! Go for Mobile, a full range of Yahoo!'s leading community, information and content services integrated into a single complete product experience.
In addition, Yahoo! and Helio will co-market the services across the Yahoo! network and other Helio marketing channels. The marketing efforts will showcase how easily Yahoo! users can extend their experience into the mobile environment with Helio's 3G network and high-end devices.
Combining market-driving innovation from Korea, one of the most advanced 3G markets in the world, with services tailored for the young US consumer, Helio recently announced its exclusive launch devices -- the Hero and Kickflip(TM). Helio will launch in the US this spring. Stay tuned.
