We knew that Yahoo moble search was indexing mobile applications. In fact Yahoo even signed a deal with GetJar. It seems though that the desktop version of the search engine will soon return iPhone and Android applications.

A tip has told us that Yahoo! has published the tablet version of its homepage. The site is located at yahoo.com/tablet. The layout has been optimized for touch devices but if you’re checking it on a traditional laptop all links will lead you to the normal version of each website.
In case you miss this week product launch, here is an introduction to the new Yahoo! Messenger application for iPhone with VOIP and video call features. This product was previously announced by Blake Irving along with Search and Mail updates.

Yahoo! has published a new application for Android users. After Mail and Messenger here comes Yahoo! Finance. Here is a small review by AndroidPolice.com
In addition to viewing news and quotes, the Yahoo Finance app lets you log into your Yahoo account and view your saved Finance portfolios (although I didn’t see the option to do this at first) – see the last few screenshots for what that looks like.
On the flip side, I found the app kind of buggy at times, refusing to load content and charts – see the 4th, 6th, and the very last slide for examples of bad behavior.
Yahoo pushed out a decent app, but the data loading issues and the overall clunkiness make it not nearly as user friendly as Google’s Finance app. However, I welcome you to download it and be your own judge.
Looks like Yahoo! will look down on you if you dare not having an iPhone… or maybe they simply dunno how to code for the other mobile platforms…You know, the real ones…

“Yahoo! Sketch-a-Search makes search even easier, without typing keywords or thinking about search terms. You simply draw a boundary on your phone’s map to discover local businesses within that location. Yahoo! Sketch-a-Search delivers robust local content without people needing to know the neighborhood. Initially available for restaurant searches in the U.S., Yahoo! Sketch-a-Search will launch additional local categories on an ongoing basis and will extend to international markets in the near future.”
The changes, which involves breaking up the mobile group and redeploying those employees across the company’s individual product groups, is the result of a review by CEO Carol Bartz, who has been an advocate of having fewer silos in the company. The reorganization has led to the departures of a number of senior mobile executives, most recently Yahoo’s Mobile General Manager Mitch Lazar, who announced his resignation this week.
