Yahoo! has released three new services for the Android operating system. Yahoo! Mail, Messenger and Search are now available for Android 2.0 and higher. While all three services can be downloaded separately, Yahoo! has developed integration between the three that will allow users to switch between the tools easily. The Yahoo! Messenger will include push notification and the Yahoo! Mail will allow users to upload photos, just to name a few advantages. While the Yahoo service is a nice change of pace from Google, there is no chance in a blue hell that Yahoo! will become a major player in the mobile software and mobile web markets. This is Microsoft syndrome all over again, meaning it is almost impossible for a third party to compete with a similar service on a platform controlled by that service. (Just think of IE and Netscape.) Nevertheless, it is nice to seem more and more companies taking the mobile road to please their customers.
