Yahoo! says it is introducing a faster, improved version of its internet services for US mobile phone users. It also plans to expand the email, Web search and maps service into Asia, Canada and Europe. "We believe more people are going to access the Internet on their mobile devices in 10 years time than on the PC, so we have really been concentrating on this area," says Geraldine Wilson, the European head of Yahoo!'s Connected Life unit.
Since January, a test version of Yahoo! Go 2.0 has been free to download in the US. It will now be offered in local languages in 13 countries, including France, Germany, Spain, India, Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore.
