Microsoft / Yahoo! merger commentary

Monday, 14. May 2007, 14:56:23

This came my way today from Action Engine... While there are question marks as to whether the potential marriage between Microsoft and Yahoo will succeed, this partnership offers wireless device owners a lot to look forward to. There are strengths from each player in different areas: Microsoft has a robust mobile Operating System and Yahoo has had great success with their recent on-device applications (i.e.Yahoo! Go service). Combining all of this into one pot could cook up the perfect blend of capabilities for today’s wireless consumer. Yahoo's oneSearch service could make dramatic improvements to the MSN search offering. And Microsoft could also benefit from enhancing their MSN web offer to more closely resemble the usability enhancements found in the Yahoo! Go service." – Source: Anne Baker, vice president of marketing at Action Engine, a mobile on-device portal provider

    • Symbian and Nokia wrestling about voting rights?

      It's obvious that it's not in everybody's interest to let Nokia gain more control over Symbian - not the OS, but Foundation this time.
