Yahoo launches mobile search
Yahoo added a search feature for cell phones Wednesday, Yahoo! Mobile Search just a few weeks after rival Google launched one of its own, reports Asia C/Net. "While Google SMS uses text-only messages to deliver its results, Yahoo's new mobile service offers localized search results, maps and Web site icons that let people point, click and make a call. The two companies took their most significant steps yet into the cell phone market within a few weeks of each other, showing just how eager the Web search industry is to expand its reach. Yahoo's mobile search is available now to AT&T Wireless, Cingular Wireless and Sprint subscribers. Meanwhile, Google's SMS test product works with the top five U.S. operators."
