Yahoo! Mobile - the starting point on mobile devices
With a feature-rich design and interactivity that maximizes the capabilities of today's mobile devices, Yahoo! Mobile offers an open environment within which consumers can bring together their favorite content and services from across the Internet. Consumers can now make their Internet experience on mobile personally relevant through the ability to:
- Discover: via results from Yahoo!'s award-winning mobile search and editor-selected content;
- Stay Connected: through access to email and social network accounts from the most popular Web providers, as well as instant messaging, address book and calendar tools;
- Stay Informed: by bringing together favorite content - websites, sports teams, news sources, RSS feeds, weather, stocks, horoscopes and more - into a single location.
The new Yahoo! Messenger application will provide iPhone users in the U.S. with the industry's leading messaging experience. Features include the ability to send and receive instant messages, exchange photos, add contacts, change status, send emoticons, and stay logged in an idle state when using other applications on the iPhone. In addition to this standalone iPhone application, Yahoo! Messenger is also available within Yahoo! Mobile (both for the Web and iPhone) and as an application on several other types of mobile devices from leading manufacturers. For more information on the upcoming Yahoo! Messenger application, visit the Yahoo! Messenger blog at http://www.ymessengerblog.com/.

Yahoo! Mobile for Web will feature display advertising from leading brands, allowing consumers to interact with these rich media ads through functions such as send to a friend, locate a dealer, clicking to call the advertiser directly or the ability to learn more information about the advertiser's offer. With some of the highest quality inventory available and a highly-engaged user base, Yahoo! is focused on creating scale for advertisers by helping them reach their targeted audience wherever they are.
