Have you ever wondered, “If only I had an easier way to find answers for my questions when I’m out and about.” Now, the wait is officially over!
We’re thrilled to announce that we’ve created a brand new mobile site and it’s ready for you to use. Everything you love about Yahoo!7 Answers is now available on-the-go.
Will it work on my phone?
The new mobile-optimised version of Yahoo!7 Answers makes it easy for you to keep track of points, open questions, and stay on top of what people are asking wherever and whenever the mood grabs you. Our new mobile site will work with most phones but you’ll see it at its very best on the newest phones, such as iPhone, Android and the latest Blackberrys.
See it in action
We’ve put together this short video, to show you why we’re so excited…
When I first arrived in Australia I was given a prepaid very low tech Nokia, while the phone was nothing to look at it made up 10-fold in functionality, it made calls, sent texts, and even had a torch… quite handy when you don’t know where you are in the dark. I also enjoyed the retro chic that came with it.
Anyway two weeks ago I decided it was about time I got with the program and despite the ridiculous data charges in this country I went out and bought myself an iPhone. There’s not a lot of bad things I can say about the iPhone, unwrapping the beast felt like a guilty pleasure, the lack of instructions confused me for 10 minutes, my chubby fingers were not nimble enough for the keyboard and it didn’t come with a torch, although apparently there’s an app for that.
There’s plenty of good things to say about the iPhone but today I’m going to concentrate on how well integrated the iPhone is with Yahoo! For starters the phones default apps include stocks and weather from Yahoo! and search was defaulted to Yahoo! I’ve since synced my Yahoo! Address book with the iPhone, push my Yahoo! Mail accounts in perfect unison, downloaded the Inquisitor search application and have fallen in love with the Yahoo! Messenger app.
The Yahoo! Messenger app is pretty much perfect, the design and functionality is very much like the latest download version and has all our favourite emoticons. I actually prefer the way each message is displayed on the iPhone version and its ingenious to be able to take a photo and instantly share that with your messenger friends so cool B-) I’d tweak it to allow interoperability with MSN Messenger and maybe free voice over wifi/3G and it’s a crying shame that the SMS business model in Australia doesn’t allow us to offer free texts to our Aussie users.
This video provides a great demonstration of the application take a look, download the app from iTunes and let us know what you think
