Unfazed by Microsoft Corp's (MSFT.O: Quote, Profile, Research) bid to acquire it, Yahoo Inc (YHOO.O: Quote, Profile, Research) launched a mobile phone tool to let phone users share personal details from their favourite Web services with friends in their address books.
Yahoo on Tuesday said it was introducing a new tool it calls oneConnect that fits snippets of the Web's most popular services -- both from Yahoo, and rivals such as Microsoft, Google (GOOG.O: Quote, Profile, Research) or Facebook -- onto the small screens of mobile phones.
OneConnect will be made available in the second quarter. Versions of the service can run on a majority of mass-market mobile phones sold around the world.
