Yahoo! Go for Mobile 2.0 Gamma version
Yahoo! announced the release of the beta version of Yahoo! Go 2.0 in January, and now they have moved on to the Gamma version. I have been using this application on my Blackberry and RAZR since it came out, and I have been thoroughly enjoying it. It connects me instantly with my Yahoo! email, news feeds, weather reports, stock reports and Flickr photos, all through an intuitive interface. The new Gamma release brings with it the ability to search directly from maps and share oneSearch(TM) results and news with friends. Yahoo's oneSearch makes it easier to get results with one click, and supports hundreds of devices. The application will recognize what your intent was to type, and then provides users with the results for the most relevant answers for search queries. Through the oneSearch widget, you can check out what the hottest searches are in any given section. Given that this is out of Beta, I am assuming that it will be open for everyone to download this time around. Last round Yahoo! cut off the download shortly after it was released, apparently because they had filled all testing slots. One thing I grit my teeth at: Yes, Yahoo!'s new mobile ads are appearing in certain sections of this version of Yahoo! Go for Mobile 2.0.

It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

Have they added calendar sync back in with this "Gamma" version? Why they removed it in the first place is mind boggling, it is easily one of the most useful and appealing parts of a mobile application and I won't be upgrading to this new version if it is not included.
