(InfoWorld) - YahooÂ is schmoozing mobile phone operators atÂ the 3GSM World Congress in Barcelona in the hopes of enlisting partners for its new mobile search services. With mobile phones soon expected to push PCs aside as the most popular tool to access the Internet, the company has given mobility a top priority and is taking steps to establish its mobile search engine as the technology of choice for mobile operators Marco Boerries, senior vice president of Yahoo Connected Life, said Tuesday at a news conference at the mobile phone show in sunny Spain. A gamma version of the company's new Java-based search application, Yahoo Go for Mobile 2.0, is now available afterÂ a beta version was released in January at the International Consumer Electronics ShowÂ in Las Vegas, according to Boerries. The application is designed to help users easily navigate a selection of personal channels for such areasÂ as news, sports, entertainment, and maps. "Mobile search so far hasn't worked because it's been an adaption of PC search," Boerries said. "Mobile users want instant answers" that are intelligently selected for small devices. A key feature of Yahoo Go for Mobile 2.0 is oneSearch, a new search engine designed specifically for mobile devices. Instead of returning a list of Web sites, the search engine provides facts related to the query term, according to Boerries. More than 400,000 users have downloaded the beta application to about 100 different devices. Yahoo is particularly keen to have mobile phone operators and vendors preinstall the application. On Monday,Â the company reached a deal with LG ElectronicsÂ that will bring its brand to the screens of tens of millions of LG cell phone handsets shipped later this year. Under the deal, LG will preload Yahoo services, including Yahoo Go for Mobile 2.0, Yahoo Mail, and Yahoo Messenger on phones sold worldwide. Clearly set on establishing an ad-funded search service on mobile phones similar to its service for PCs, Yahoo said Monday it will start showing mobile display ads on its Yahoo Mobile Web service in 19 countries across Europe, Asia, and the Americas. Major advertisers include Intel, Pepsi, and Proctor & Gamble. The use of ad-funded search services will help mobile phone operators generate revenue that they may want to return to customers in the way of free services, Boerries said. "You can only give something away if you make something," he said. "Mobile advertising will enable this." Â

(InfoWorld) - Yahoo has reached a deal with LG Electronics that should see its "Go" mobile platform on the screens of tens of millions of LG cell phone handsets shipped later this year, the two companies said Monday. Under the deal LG will pre-load Yahoo services, including Yahoo Go for Mobile 2.0, Yahoo Mail and Yahoo Messenger on phones sold worldwide, they said in the announcement that was timed to coincide with the start of the 3GSM exhibition in Barcelona, Spain. Precise details of the alliance, including which services would appear on what models and in which markets, were not disclosed. Financial terms were also not announced. LG was the fifth largest manufacturer of cell phones in 2006, according to figures from market research company IDC. It shipped 64.4 million phones during the year, which is 17.3 percent higher than the previous year and amounted to a 6.6 percent market share. Yahoo has already tied up with market-leader Nokia and number two Motorola in similar deals to get its search box on the cellular equivalent of the PC desktop. However those deals haven't assured Yahoo a place on all screens. Motorola and Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications also have a deal with Google and local carriers have struck their own partnerships which sometimes result in the two search engines being switched or displaced. The two companies said they will also explore putting Yahoo services on LG consumer electronics products. LG is one of the world's leading manufacturers of digital consumer electronics including flat-panel televisions and video recorders. Â
