"Yahoo Go! is the first application optimized for the “small screen” of a mobile phone that truly makes it easy and fun to access the Internet. Everything about the Yahoo! Go interface is designed to be both visually stunning and give you what you want with the fewest clicks possible.
At its core is the carousel, used to navigate intuitively among the various Yahoo! Go widgets: your own personal channels for email, local info & maps, news, sports, finance, entertainment, weather, Flickr™ photos and search. Simply use the carousel to scroll over to the widget you want. Since Yahoo! Go uses advanced caching and background loading technology, your widget content is automatically and continuously “pushed” to your phone, so it’s always right there when you want it. You don’t need to endure lengthy downloads or navigate loads of links to get to what you want."
Granted, on Windows Mobile devices we've had the capacity for years to do a LOT of things that this app presents as "revolutionary", but what is rather impressive is the way they've integrated it all together. Check out the demo and you'll see.
At this time, they list a total of 77 Windows Mobile devices on which Go should work (though many have a small balloon stating "coming soon!"). Unfortunately the XV6600 is not one of the devices on which it will work. Sad
Live Search, Google Maps, and now Yahoo Go! - gotta love the choices and the competition it breeds! We the consumer end up being the winner!

I used to use it a while back and it was fine... some people complained about it taking over their hotmail inbox on their devices but i chose not to sync mail.
2.0 is still not released on pocket pc so till then i can't give you a good answer (its been a since i've used 1.0)

I used version 1 for a while - until it decided it didn't wanna work anymore that is. Good app. I like the Calender and Contact link. I'll try V2 once it's released for WM in April.

its not released for most wm devices yet.
like someone said before the first beta kinda sucked. it took over your ppc. it asked you to upload pics to yahoo every time you snapped a pic. then it always asked to connect instead of doing it quietly in the backround. on top of that it had no stand alone messenger (everything is about money with these guys) and lastly it had the worst memory leak. everytime i tried it out for more than 2 days i had to hard reset my wizard. it didnt even have html mail.
the concept was great but they never delievered a good product. i hope this gamma release fixes all the problems. and if they cheat us out of a messenger then im going to have to scrap it again.
i must admit though, i am looking forward to the gamma. im curious. btw, any leaks of it yet????

I agree. I tried it out and had to uninstall it within an hour. I found it very frustrating to use, slow to respond and devoid of any useful error messages.

Wifi Direction App?

I'm looking for an app that will show the direction in relation to where you are of nearby Wifi connections. Something like a radar circle that shows which direction to walk in to get a stronger signal. At my work, I'm frequently in areas where I get very weak signals, and something like this would be absolutely indispensable.
I've tried looking on the Market, but haven't seen one that does this. Does anyone know if such an app exists, possibly one that is not on the Market?

Wifi Analyzer is the closest thing that exist. It'll only tell you how strong the signals are not the direction but it may serve your purpose.

This is impossible to do. Your wifi chip can only measure signal strength.
To show the location of the accesspoints in relation to you you would need: a) insanely accurate gps reception and b) either a hightly accurate database with gps locations of all wifi accesspoints or to move around a lot and store/analyse all the data.
Which is infeasible at the very least.

The Samsung Behold II has an app that does this. You can walk around and it tells you where the wifi access points are and the broad casted names.

That is for wardriving and highly innacurate (it will place the network within, say , 30 meters of its actual location, and requires you to move a lot to produce usefull data.
If it suits your purpose then who am i to argue but i figured you wanted something practical while indoors and or on foot.

[APP] Bing for Android

Bing for Android
The app homepage features the Bing image of the day, complete with clickable hotspots that you can explore and discover related trivia. Did you miss one of the latest images? Don’t worry; you can still swipe through up to 7 days’ worth of Bing images.

Are you a visual person? Try the image search feature that has endless scrolling results (Tip: this also works for any search result). Then easily swipe through image previews and click straight through to the image host site.
Now, do you see the mic option on the homepage? Our investment in voice search continues in our Android App and works great for searches like map locations as well as web search. This works especially well when looking for “Instant answers” which give you quick and relevant answers for things like movies, stock quotes, flight status and local listings.
Just say “movies,” for a quick result of movie listings, theaters and show times nearby, or say the flight information you are looking for, we will show you the departure, arrival, and other relevant information such as traffic, weather, news, and hotels details.
Voice search is also great when it comes to your local business listings. Give it a try, even something complex, hold the phone to your ear and speak, or press the mic button—it’s that simple.
The Android app also has a pretty smooth mapping feature. First, Bing will automatically find your current location. You can then easily discover new places by category such as restaurants, banks, theaters and you can choose whether you want walking or driving directions. Swipe through each step of your directions, and check out how fast the map pans and zooms. For times when you only have one hand free and can’t pinch, there is the handy zoom-out button.
There are a bunch of other features we’d love to tell you about, like local listing reviews, ratings and news. But rather than drone on about them, just download the app from your Android’s Marketplace, give it a spin and let us know what you think.

Thanks!
I don't understand why they want to make it exclusive to Verizon. MS doesn't need profit but user share. One does not build user base by being exclusive.

thanks for posting this!

Thanks a lot man, these exclusive deals are really annoying. Only Verizon can get Skype, Bing, and NFL Mobile? That's not right...

Thanks alot for posting this!
Is this a patched version of the apk or the same 'exclusive' Verizon one?
I would love to get that Sprint exclusive Blackboard app...

God bing sucks
I downloaded bing and searched for "Health Clubs and Fitness", and bing doesn't even list the Gold's gym I go to 5 miles from my house.
went to Google maps and did the same search, and of course, it lists Gold's as the third result. Right where it should be since it's the third closest gym to my house. Not only that, but the search results for Google all show a pic of the location, not so with bing.
deleted bing. I don't have time for a search engine that is still a beta. Actually, calling it a beta is being too kind. bing is simply a cheap knockoff of a search engine compared to Google

Thought it was kinda cool until i realized theres no flash. Uninstalled

Any way to map to search button? I might a actually use it xD.

I'm annoyed with MS until they give me their native MSN app

Redboxer app?

Ive been using the app for awhile, then one day it was gone. I flashed multiple roms and its still not in the market. I even looked in appbrain.com and still no luck. Im wondering if anyone else used this paid app and knows any news on this application. Did it get removed?

Looks like it may have changed names?
There's an app called "RedReserve" on Appbrain by the same developer.
http://www.appbrain.com/app/redreserve/com.droidsoftdev.redreserve.main

Thanks for the info I found it, but I already bought the app before under the name of redboxer. Do I really have to pay for it again?

This is a convo from the dev. They shut him down cause his app had redbox in its name, anyways he gave me a refund and I was able to buy the other app. So it all worked out great. Awesome dev!

I was an early adopter of Redboxer and bought it when it was $.99. Since it got pulled, renamed to RedReserve, and put back on the market, the price was increased to $1.99. The dev is refunding the original $.99 to those of us who purchased the original Redboxer, but we're expected to pay full price for the RedReserve. In other words, those of us who supported the dev from day one are now expected to pay $1.00 more for the app just for a name change. $1 is not a lot of money, but it's the principal of the thing. What's to stop any other dev from pulling their app from the market, re-listing it under a new name and charging users again a higher price for it? Great way to scam people. Not saying the dev for Redboxer is scamming. His app was pulled because of the redbox name. He's very pleasant and helpful in refunding, but it just sucks. I wish he'd charge the $.99 that it cost before, at least for a little while, so those of us who supported him early on could get it for the same price.

Hey everyone - just came across this thread and thought I would add some more information.
Yes - redbox did shutdown my app, RedBoxer and cited the reason as trademark infringement for use of the word "redbox". On my home screen I used "Find a redbox". In hindsight, I should have used "Find a kiosk" which is what my new app uses. I also removed the word from other places in the app and used the trademark symbol when using it in the About section of my app.
It was very frustrating because they didn't bother to contact me at all; they simply went straight to Google who puts your app into a suspended status and sends you an email about it. Google tells you that you must work with the complainant to get the issue resolved. Well I tried to reach their attorney but I still haven't heard from him.
I am offering refunds to everyone that bought redboxer and now buys the new app. So far I am keeping up with the emails and I am turning around refunds in less than a couple hours usually.
I do completely understand the principal of people who bought the app for 99 cents having to pay a dollar more and the money aspect of it isn't a big deal for me. I will even paypal the dollar difference to anyone who would like that. I wish there was a way to do partial refunds so that I could credit people for the extra dollar they have to spend on the new app, but Google's market only allows me to completely cancel the purchase and do a full refund.
In addition to all this, redbox is starting to roll out a brand new version of their online system. insideredbox.com has a blog post with more details for those interested. They are limiting exposure to the new system so my app was getting served the new system on occasion which was causing issues. I took it down last Friday and just finished updating it last night to support the new system. It is back in the market currently.
redbox's new system is pretty cool. It seems much faster and it has some new features like support for reserving games and a cart that holds up to five items (movies/games) that you can checkout with all at once.
As redbox completes the roll-out of their new system, expect to see support for these features in my app as well.
Thanks to everyone who has bought and supports my app.

App gone again?
I tend to use titanium backup for my app restores, so it may take some time to notice when an app disapears. Redreserve is gone from the market. Any idea as to if/when it will return? (v2.5 still works great, BTW)

Slightly Disappointed with Google Now?

I understand that Google doesn't want to create a privacy scare with Google Now, but I have to say that it isn't as useful as I was hoping. It shows me the weather in the morning and when to leave for the subway and when I had a flight it was cool to see the flight status. Beyond that though, I feel like it isn't being utilized to its full potential.
Anyone else feel this way? Have you thought of cool things Google Now could be doing?
I would love it if it actually read my calendar and noticed when there is a flight coming up. It'd be nice if it scanned my email and noticed that I have a package on the way and tracked that for me.
Maybe Google can have different tiers? The current Google Now can be for privacy freaks and people who love and trust Google can increase the amount of data that Google Now uses? I don't know....they just need to figure out something...

I get the impression its something that will be useful but that right now is one of those google services that is going to be essentially in beta for the next few years.
It is kind enough to tell me to go to the train station to get to work but only ever gives bus timetables. Its obviously aware of the train times as the directions to work tells me how long till the train leaves just doesn't seem to like timetables.
Weather works tells me home/work and occasionally where i am at that moment.
It has once brought up a card for pubs/restraunts nearby which i wouldn't mind being more consistent
I find it doesn't refresh very often. Today on way home it said last refreshed 39minutes ago, chose refresh and it just stayed the same claiming the same 39 minutes.
One day i think it will be a great feature but right now it doesn't work well enough to be more than a gimmicky preview of things to come.

To be honest, I don't see what the big deal about it is. Then again, it's not like I'm boarding flights and going to appointments every other day... and I usually know where I'm going if I'm leaving anywhere. As for the weather, I look out the window for that lol. Maybe in a few years Google Now will cook me eggs in the morning.

I tried it on my Sprint GS3, uninstalled, went back to regular search box. It does just what I need.

I enjoy this, maybe because I'm curious and love working new features. Honestly if you ask me.. its better than the Original Search right? I mean its the Original Search basically with awesome new features.
I guess if you aren't into your phone, or phone features you'd probably not care much. But this is a step forward for Google.. it may not show much compared to siri but at least they are making an effort?
I love it.
Even made the Google Now "Weather Card" which turned out pretty amazing.
