Yahoo! Ushers in New Era in Mobile Internet Services With Yahoo! Go for Mobile 2.0



    Yahoo! Inc. (NASDAQ:YHOO) today launched a beta version of Yahoo!
    Go for Mobile 2.0 at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2007 in Las
    Vegas. Yahoo! Go 2.0 is an innovative new application that redefines

    design, ability to personalize with content from the entire Internet

    The Yahoo! Go 2.0 beta (http://go.yahoo.com) is available for
    consumers to download today on Motorola's new MOTORAZR maxx V6 and
    MOTORAZR V3xx devices as part of the two companies' ongoing alliance
    to deliver an optimized Yahoo! experience on the world's coolest
    devices. Beginning in the first half of 2007, Yahoo! Go 2.0 will be
    pre-loaded on select new mobile devices from Motorola. Consumers can
    also download Yahoo! Go 2.0 on more than 70 other mobile devices from
    major manufacturers worldwide and use it on most wireless networks.

    Telecommunications (Malaysia), Globe Telecom, Hutchison India, Idea
    Cellular, Rogers Wireless, Smart Communications, Taiwan Mobile and 3
    Group in the United Kingdom, Italy, Denmark, Ireland and Sweden.

    "Yahoo! intends to be the number one mobile Internet player
    globally," said Marco Boerries, senior vice president of connected
    life, Yahoo!. "Today we are changing the game by putting the full
    power of the open Internet into consumers' pockets. Yahoo! Go 2.0
    creates an entirely new and beautiful experience that fits great
    phones, like the new MOTORAZR maxx V6 or V3xx devices."

    "Consumers crave cool experiences on the coolest devices and the
    desire for seamless connectivity has never been stronger," said Scott
    Durchslag, corporate vice-president of product and xperience
    invention, Motorola mobile devices. "Integrating services like Yahoo!
    Go 2.0 with Motorola devices enables consumers to stay connected with
    the people, places and information they want, whenever they want it."

    Yahoo! has created this new version of Yahoo! Go from the ground
    up to bring the Internet to the mobile phone with a suite of services
    that are fast, easy to use and highly personalizable. The unique
    carousel design of Yahoo! Go 2.0 makes it simple for consumers to
    navigate the selection of Yahoo! Go widgets for e-mail, local
    information and maps, news, sports, finance, entertainment, weather,
    photo sharing and search. The new service also includes Yahoo!
    oneSearch(TM) a completely new mobile search service designed to give
    consumers what they want on their mobile phone -- instant answers.
    Yahoo! 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. (See press release
    titled "Yahoo! Reinvents Internet Search for the Mobile
    Phone")

    -- Be local, no matter where you are -- The Local & Maps widget
    gives consumers quick access to comprehensive local directory
    information for businesses across the US, 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 one of the Web's most innovative
    and prolific photo-sharing communities, 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. Automatic synchronization
    allows consumers to access messages and contacts in their
    Yahoo! Mail account in real time. Any changes made on the
    phone are instantly reflected on the PC and vice versa.
