Discover Yahoo! oneSearch in One Click on Nokia Devices

oneSearch Shortcut.

The Yahoo! Mobile team has continued to develop new enhancements to make Yahoo! oneSearch easier and more effective for our users on the go. Today, we're further enhancing the mobile search experience by rolling out a Yahoo! oneSearch shortcut for Nokia devices. This new shortcut provides users with one-click access to Yahoo! oneSearch through our downloadable client. Once installed, it only takes one click on your phone screen to initiate a search. Simply click on the pencil key or right shortcut key on your device, and you no longer have to hunt through your cell phone menu to conduct a search.

If you have a select Series 60 Nokia device (e.g. N70, N95, N73, 6120, and E65), give it a try. The Yahoo! oneSearch shortcut is currently available for you in North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and South America. If you don't have a Series 60 Nokia, we're hoping to bring the oneSearch shortcut to you soon.

One of the key features of the Yahoo! oneSearch shortcut is the integration of Search Assist, which made its mobile debut in April at CTIA. Mobile Search Assist is powerful on the go when you're having to type on small keyboards or "triple tap" phone buttons; it reduces the time it takes to enter a search term through real time search suggestions and related concepts for more refined results. For example, as you type in 'Dark Knight', Search Assist may recommend suggestions such as Darth Vader or Olympian Dara Torres to help guide your search.

It's stupefying and disappointing to see so much development effort go into platforms which are developer friendly but are used by such a small portion of the entire cell phone user base.

The majority of Yahoo! cell phone users are not single apartment dwellers making nearly $100k/yr. But it appears the development decisions are being made by those who are.

No memorable exchanges. No historic zingers. No gotchas. The much-anticipated first face-off between Barack Obama and John McCain resolved little. Neither candidate strayed from their usual briefing books. The talking points were recycled. McCain blasted Obama for being a rookie in the ways of national security. Obama questioned McCain's judgment, notably his initial support for the Iraq war.

I really love the interface of this new system but it sucked up all available resources on my phone so I was forced to remove it. :-(
