Yahoo! launched its mobile interface Go with 3.0 (beta) a couple of days ago and its been an anxious wait. I have a Blackberry 8700g and my friends all carry Nokia and Moto Razr2 or alike and none of our devices are supported yet. Now that Yahoo! is doing something about Android in it’s own meager way, it supports 3rd party widgets for this application. Google is going down a different path but I wish Yahoo! wouldn’t forget all of us who aren’t running the latest of the phones and still spend significant amount of time on GPRS/EDGE.

I can’t wait to try out this on my phone but if anybody out there has a nice video of the interface, I would love to see it.

  • Big Ass Table

    Just when I thought maybe I should start saving up to buy the uber-gadget - Microsoft Surface,  I run into this hilarious video by SarcasticGamer.com on Techcrunch. Now I know that if I were to ever splurge on this ‘Big Ass Table’, my friends would send me this video along with their pre-recorded laugh to watch on the Surface itself!

  • Unofficial iPhone Ad rocks

    This  new unofficial ad showing the sexy iPhone ad through different New Yorkers eyes, almost like a global view. Such a melting pot, this city. Another reason its my favorite in the world.

    I just kept this movie in repeat cause the song was so catchy. In case you are wondering as well, it’s Young Folks by Peter Bjorn and John.

  • I don’t get why the world is not in love with the iPhone even more. Yeah I know, that’s almost impossible. But what is this outrage over no SDK? It takes Web Apps and AJAX apps. Waitaminnit -

    We can write our own apps on our favorite phone.

    Such apps are crazy easier to write compared to all traditional apps. And I can get what I want on my phone. Sure, I wont write everything that I will crave. But, there are thousands of experienced coders out there who will. Its going to be awesome. Imagine Greasemonkey gone ape crazy on the iPhone. I can’t browsing Flickr without the Auto-Pagination and Instant Zoom scripts buzzing smoothly on Firefox. I can’t stop thinking about what all we can do on that beautiful little screen.

    Let’s just get over the fact that Jobs & Co have not kept this awesome device locked up only for the hardcore coders. That is big news! B-I-G!
