There's been a huge amount of talking on the net about the S60 Yahoo! Go! client. Christian Lindholm's blog has a great post, although given he previously worked at Nokia and is now with Yahoo! maybe that much would be obvious. Tarek has a huge number of screenshots from his installation and first experiences, while CNet points out that the client will be pre-installed on Series 60 devices in ten countries (but handily doesn't say which ones).
Read on in the full article.
Though see also my editorial on the requirement for cheap mobile data, without which this sort of thing will remain US-only....
Just answered to this entry in my blog:
http://www.blogs.s60.com/tommi/2006/01/ten_countries_to_have_yahoo_go.html
So the lucky winners seem to be Australia, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Spain and the United Kingdom.
Thanks for letting us know Tommi. Intereting list of target countries, espeically India and China. The US should also be on this list because they are definetely getting it too.
I really feel Christian Lindholm is out of his element here. This man, while working for Nokia, had few ideas himself. Being called the Father of the Series 60 is, without a doubt, overblown. He knows who and where the whole concept comes from. Just ask him about Mother program. And he knows damn well who was the first to develop this interface.
This man is a political animal. He takes the work of other individuals. There is a long list of people he has done wrong.
Surely Yahoo should know what lies this man bases his resume on. And surely Yahoo is a company that will see this man is way out of his league.
If you want a list of the real people who has done the work, it would be easy to show. Also Christian can see the user specifications of the " Mother Program" which could be in my possession. Ask him to explain all of this. Father of the Series 60?? No way
Somebody could really dig into the real Lindholm and come up with the truth.
Hi guys! Im new to this posting. I needed help from experts like you. I had Yahoo Go installed on my 3230. But recently i bought 6630. I have it preinstalled on the mmc, but i had already bought a 512 mb mmc for my 3230. So im using the same in my 6630 now. When i had installed yahoo go on my earlier phone, i had got a beautiful yahoo blue theme with it. Now i dont have gprs on activated, so cannot install it anymore on my 6630. But I would love to get the yahoo theme back. Could someone of you provide me with the original Yahoo Go theme? I would be really thankful to him..
Thanks in advance...:icon14:
