Go 2.0 is the next generation of the service that launched for Symbian and Windows Mobile phones in 2006. Key features of the service include: -- Search reinvented for mobile consumers - oneSearch recognizes the intent of a search term and presents relevant content - not just a list of web links to PC sites - on the results page. Results are grouped by subject making it easy to read through and drill down to get more details. The Local and Maps widget gives consumers quick access to comprehensive local directory information for businesses across the U.S., enhanced with ratings and reviews from the millions-strong Yahoo! community. Interactive maps, driving directions and real time traffic updates help consumers find their way. Local guides provide at-a-glance detail on what's happening in a specific city that day as well as the most popular places to eat, shop and visit. Consumers can set their location and the experience will be tailored appropriately. -- Rich, highly personalizable content from millions of sources to keep consumers connected - Current headlines and a breaking news ticker in the News, Sports, Entertainment, Weather and Finance widgets keep consumers connected to the information that matters to them. Each widget also includes a "command center" where consumers can access more articles, use watchlists to track topics of interest - from sports teams to stocks to celebrities - or add new content from the millions of sources on the web that publish in RSS. -- Photo sharing keeps consumers connected to their community - The Flickr widget integrates the web's most innovative and prolific photo-sharing community, making it easy for consumers to upload and manage images from their camera phone. Consumers can also easily share photos, view their friends' pictures and browse or search the millions of images posted by the Flickr community. -- Streamlined e-mail keeps consumers in sync - The E-mail widget allows consumers to quickly respond to, delete or compose new messages or view attachments with a single click. Advanced search capabilities allow consumers to locate important e-mail easily by searching in the subject line, the message body or an attachment.
