"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.

Fuel Price Application?

Mod/Admin, if I've posted this in the wrong section, my apologies.
I've searched but can't seem to find if there's a fuel price application out there for Windows Mobile.
The Windows Mobile version of Garmin GPS has a nice feature where it uses your current GPS location and you can either list the closest stations, or choose premium/mid/reg/diesel and list the cheapest near by your current location.
Looks like www.gasbuddy.com offers an iPhone app that does something similar using Google Maps.
Perhaps there could be a project started to put together an app that could use the Gas Buddy info with Google Maps?
Just kind of brain storming here since I've been unable to find a solution so far.
Thoughts? Ideas?

Windows Live??
Why not use Window's Live Search? It has a gas price function.

Although Window's Live Search does have that feature, I was hoping there was more of a stand alone solution available as opposed to installing a more bundled type app.
I think something very similar to danielgary's Cinemo ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=516695 ) would be exceptional.
He already has a VERY clean and nice interface that is using web based data and GPS location.
I think something like his app, but for fuel prices would be great.
Sadly, I don't have the skill set to develop something on my own.

I *almost* agree

I see what you mean by having standa lone apps, and in a way I agree with that for most things.
But I also like to be able to get to a lot of different features (gas, weather, movie times, traffic etc) under one app that is location (cell tower/gps) based.

This is something I was looking at doing - for the UK of course as it's where I live... but I was worried about the accuracy of the info. I was thinking of getting it from a site called http://www.petrolprices.com/ but I'm not sure how up to date/accurate they are.
There are a couple of apps around but they have a monthly fee whereas mine could of course be free as it's using freely available data...

Using this topic to ask something similar...
Any good software to control gas consumption like gasbuddy for iphone? (graphic and interactive)

Also looking for the same application as herpez

Though I love Live Search/Bing for the maps, GPS-activated traffic (when I have to drive downtown which fortunately isn't every day), etc., I've noticed the gas price applet in Bing isn't entirely accurate. The last time I used Bing to check local gas prices, I had them come up on the screen, and drove past the couple who were closest on my way, and the price at the pump was anywhere from 3 - 10c off of the price Bing was quoting.
But given how these apps get their data, I doubt that ANY such app for any platform can be entirely accurate all the time...

Thought I would post some progress on the collaborative project between my BF (Stev-o) and myself on our Android Music Program!!!!!
*Also can be found on my Blog at DoesItPew.blogspot.com*
This program need some more rework and a UI....however most of the functions are working decently well. You can use Voice to text for searching or type it in (personally I like using my Swype keyboard). This will generate the individual songs and playlists instantly playable by your media player of choice! Please comment on stuff that just does not work or any suggestions, only been working on this for like 2 months between about 5-6 different projects and working full time (BF is a grad student).
Search for a song on your phone by any information:
This program allows you to find any song on your phone by any metadata about the song. Want to find every song made in 1974? Type in "1974" and you will see a list of all the songs sang in 1974 from your library! Can you only remember pat of a song name or artist name? Type it in and see the results when you hit search! It really is that easy and you won't spend all that time scrolling through menus to find that perfect song for that perfect moment.
Search by Humming or Singing:
This feature is enabled through the use of the NSF funded TuneBot project by Bryan Pardo at Northwestern University. TuneBot is a crowdsourced Sound-Hound alternative that is Free, Open, and Ever-Ex panding. You can contribute to the Database by playing KaraokeCallout on your iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch and play a game too. It is free and highly reccomended. Plus the more you play, the better this program becomes and the bigger the database of songs is! You will see a VU meter pop-up when you try to hum, just make sure it does not go all red when singing as that means that you have had some clipping. This will show you the best matches from your phone music as well as best overall online results if you do not happen to have the song on your device (so that you can get it online - ie Youtube).
Search by Lyrics:
Can't remember the name of that song, but you can remember the refrain? Man, who knew that "Teenage Wasteland" was really "Baba O'Riley" ? The lyric search is provided by Leo's Lyrics and is Super Fast! Just like the searching for Metadata feature, you can type or speak your query. This will return the best matches from your Music on your device as well as the best matches online like the Humming feature.
Here is the Program: http://www.sendspace.com/file/yqg8n5
Sideload it
Background and Future Work:
Basically this project stemmed out of my boyfriend not having bluetooth in his car like I do in mine. He wanted to have voice control instead of fudging with buttons and scrolling through lists every time he wanted to listen to something. Plus, he is pretty mood-music kind of guy and never bothers to put together a playlist. In the future we hope to have voice commands added so that you can be in your car and say "Mix Country and Rap" and to will start playing all of your Country and Rap music for example. Eventally, would be very cool to have voice command dialing of phone numbers too.
Any suggestions, comments and such would be appreciated. I know it is rough and we are working on it y'all!
*EDIT NEW APK WITH ADDITIONAL FEATURES!!!!!!!*

Sounds great,but does Not install ob 2.3 on hd2 :/
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA Premium App
EDIT:could install but forces closes when trying Tor Start :/

Yeah, I have only tested on 2.1 and 2.2 since we have Evo's.
This is VERY good to know - wonder why it does not install on 2.3? I will work on the code more.

Really like the idea
I'll try to install it on my desire z in a bit (also with 2.3).

installed fine on cm7 nightly 23 but f/c's a lot

Updated code. you will find that now the single song selection feature in near instantanious and works great on gingerbread. No weird closing stuff!

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.

2-way live synced notepad/sketchpad?

I'm back in college, and sort of stuck on a communication issue. Several of my family members are engineers already, and eager to help out - but they're all in different places around the country. explaining maths and physics over the phone/skype alone, is extremely ineffective. We all have the Note 10.1, and have been looking for something like a 2-way live notepad or sketchpad to make this arrangement work properly. Even a simple "Paint" app would do the trick, as long as it allows live 2-way "sync" with input from both sides.
I've been googling my brains out for a week now, and refuse to believe there is nothing out there that can do this in some fashion. Anyone come across something like this?

I have not found anything that syncs by itself, however, for my different paint programs i use foldersync to sync the appropriate folders to my dropbox account (several other accounts can be hooked up to foldersync), and this allows me to have a constant backup of all my artwork.
You could setup something similar, a dropbox or other account to sync to, and then specific folders on each device for syncing. Just search for foldersync on the play store.

Syncing files is not a problem, we use dropsync for that currently - but for this intended purpose, that would require completing the task, saving the file and then it can e viewed in the other end. As with maths and physics, we'want to be able to give explanation over skype, during writing...
