Yahoo! Go is now 2.0 and set for 400 handsets!

Have you checked out Yahoo! Go? It’s now on version 2.0 and it’s looking better than ever.

A bit of info:

For the first time, Yahoo! Go 2.0 will deliver a fully localized experience to millions of consumers in Canada, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Spain, United Kingdom, Thailand and Vietnam. At launch the new beta version in these countries has much of the functionality as the US version. Key features include:
• Faster than ever before – Greatly increased speed, including substantially reduced loading time, makes it even more fun to use
• Even better e-mail – Ability to open more types of attachments, including PDF files and Microsoft Word, PowerPoint and Excel documents, and access Yahoo! Mail folders
• Easier to stay connected – Search Yahoo! Address Book contacts to call or get driving directions with one-click and view Yahoo! Calendar, even search for specific entries
• Better mobile search results – Faster access to better results with just oneSearch

I really, really like the fact that Yahoo have a division called ‘Connected Life’. They’re the people behind Go.

Check this out too:

The localized beta version of Yahoo! Go 2.0 will be available for more than 200 different mobile phones by the end of July and that will expand to more than 400 by end of year. It will also be pre-loaded on new devices from Nokia, Motorola, Samsung, LG and HTC that begin rolling out later this year.

They mean business! Very impressive.

I’m going to download it on to my handset and give it a whirl so standby for screenshots galore.
